These are some first steps, essential to our chance of avoiding a climate- and ecological disaster:
1. Effective immediately, halt all investments in fossil fuel exploration and extraction, immediately end all fossil fuel subsidies and immediately and completely divest from fossil fuels.
2. EU member states must advocate to make ecocide an international crime at the International Criminal Court.
3. Include total emissions in all figures and targets, including consumption index, international aviation and shipping.
4. Starting today – establish annual, binding carbon budgets based on the current best available science and the IPCC’s budget which gives us a 66% chance of limiting the global temperature rise to below 1.5 °C. They need to include the global aspect of equity, tipping points and feedback loops and shouldn’t depend on assumptions of possible future negative emissions technologies.
5. Safeguard and protect democracy.
6. Design climate policies that protect workers and the most vulnerable and reduce all forms of inequality: economic, racial and gender.
7. Treat the climate- and ecological emergency like an emergency.
