The document is a formal statement signed by a broad coalition of individuals, businesses, and civil society organizations calling for urgent government action to limit global warming to 1.5°C. It emphasizes that 1.5°C is a critical limit rather than a target and argues that current national pledges are insufficient to meet this goal. The signatories commit to a just transition and call for global emissions to be halved by 2030, highlighting the immediate impacts of climate change already visible in regions such as Pakistan, California, Europe, and Somalia.

• The signatories assert that the 1.5°C threshold is a strict limit that must not be exceeded to avoid severe consequences, noting that current global heating of 1.2°C is already causing disasters in Pakistan, California, Europe, and Somalia.
• The document argues that existing national pledges are inadequate for meeting climate goals, citing the 2022 UNFCCC NDC Synthesis Report as evidence that governments must urgently strengthen and implement their commitments to halve global emissions by 2030.
• The coalition expresses unwavering support for the Paris Agreement and the Glasgow Climate Pact, stating that thousands of non-state actors are already implementing science-based actions, including clean energy solutions and innovative finance.
• The signatories call on national leaders, particularly those from the most advanced economies, to demonstrate solidarity and avoid backsliding on previous commitments to ensure an equitable and resilient global economy.
