Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt

Since the failure of the Kyoto Conference, Doha, Copenhagen, ... it is urgent for a commitment by all countries in the world to reduce emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) responsible for the global temperature increase. Indeed, if nothing is done, extreme events (floods, droughts, storms, ...) already seen today will be multiplied throughout the world and violence await new heights. The UN conferences have succeeded but the states do not sufficiently reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and multinational companies and financial empires extend their grip on the future of humanity.

Today, the effects of global warming are visible and scientifically proven. The southern countries, least developed and most vulnerable, are exposed to harmful consequences. The sea level is already mounted 20 cm and 25 million children under 5 suffer from malnutrition in 2050.

In 2015, August 13, humanity has already consumed all naturally renewable resources in a year! The ecological debt is continually widening year by year.

Our development model, systems of production and consumption should radically change ... not the climate!

We, the undersigned organizations believe that it is possible to start a transition to a world able to maintain harmony between humanity and nature that meets the needs of the vast majority of humans.

We call upon the states of the world to conclude a binding agreement and engaging at the COP21 conference in Paris in December 2015, 1- significantly reduce GHG emissions to contain global warming and 2- mobilize funds to help Companies adapt to the climatic changes already exists, especially in the South.

We will continue to campaign for “another possible world” to change systems of production and consumption, not the climate!
