Protect our earth from dying.

The Issue

Right now we are facing the pollution effects. You see it on the news, on Instagram, Snapchat stories, and documentaries on Netflix.

This problem is uniting all human beings.

This one is for our future. This action is especially intended for all the teens and younger people out there. For the ones who want to be part of this change, (but don’t know how).

What is the problem? Right now the earth is heating up, but the increasing temperature needs to stay under 1.5°C. This way the atmosphere can keep absorbing the CO2. But when experts and scientists made a prognostication about how we live now, and how the CO2 emission will develop, they came with a shocking prediction: By 2028 the atmosphere’s temperature on earth will have risen by a total of 1.5°C, and by 2045 a total of 2°C. So they say we won’t stay under the 1.5°C, which means that if we keep living as we do now, our earth will be exhausted in about 26 years, and we won't be able to save the world anymore.

Calling on those who have a huge impact on our environment is the only option we have for our families and friends to live in a better world, now and in the future.

Our demands:

  1. Do everything you can to stop the global temperature from rising by more than 1.5°C. Make climate action a priority across all parts of government.
  2. Reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050 at the latest. Richer countries should do this faster. By 2030, global emissions must be half as much as they were in 2010.
  3. Stop using fossil fuels as quickly as possible. 
  4. Make sure that climate change doesn’t violate anyone’s human rights.
  5. Make sure that those affected by climate change the transition to a fossil-free economy, are properly informed about what is happening and are able to participate in decisions about their futures.
  6. Make sure that countries help each other reach these goals; richer countries must help others.
  7. Restore the environment at home and abroad, so nature can fight back against climate change.

We can do this. Sign this action and call on the political decision-makers all over the world, to create a planet where there is (almost) no human emission of CO2. We will not go down without a fight. We will keep rising until governments will act.

LET'S MAKE A CHANGE AND STOP THE CLIMATE CRISIS! LET'S SHOW UP FOR EARTH.
