Climate talks must deliver people-centred solutions
Volveremos: stand with us
Friends of the Earth Europe, alongside other civil society groups,
symbolically returned to the International climate talks today. The
talks resumed in Bonn, Germany on Monday, the first session since a broad section of civil society walked out of the negotiations in Warsaw last year
– in solidarity with those affected by climate change, and in protest
over the corporate capture of the talks and the lack of ambition.
Friends
of the Earth Europe is calling on European politicians to work towards
an equitable, long-term, ambitious and people-centred solution to the
climate crisis. The first week of the talks was marred by poor
attendance from environmental ministers, who are expected to revise
current ambitions and focus on contributions to the Kyoto agreement –as
well as discuss new post-2020 climate commitments, expected to be agreed
in Paris in 2015.
