We need an equitable fossil fuel phase out— any country that blocks this language from the text is jeopardizing our chance to stay below 1.5 degrees

We must implement a just phase out of fossil fuels globally- with the countries with highest historic emissions stepping up first

I attended #WEF2024 with one clear message: the current economic system will collapse because it does not value biodiversity, nature, nor the communities that protect ecosystems. We cannot continue to exploit nature for short term profit because whole systems will keep crossing the boundaries or stability. But also, we cannot say that the solution is to put a price tag on a living tree… “natural capital” is just the further commodification of nature. The solution is to put value in the regeneration and protection of whole ecosystems — where local communities directly benefit.
