To: Leaders of our nations at COP21 in Paris 2015
Hear My Voice. Agree on Climate Action in Paris.
World leaders, I urge you to sign a bold and meaningful agreement that immediately limits and ultimately stops climate change, and also helps me and citizens everywhere adapt to its current and future effects.
Why is this important?
Global accords between nations take many years to develop, and many more years to ratify, implement and ultimately benefit from. This one cannot wait any longer. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) conference of the parties in Paris 2015 (COP21) is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our leaders to take action and create real and lasting change that benefits everyone, everywhere.
There is a lot of work left to be done. But there has also been a lot of progress since Kyoto in 1997, Copenhagen in 2009, and Lima in December 2014. Lima began the negotiation and drafting of a landmark agreement to be signed at the Paris conference. The goal is in sight.
We cannot miss this opportunity. We must stand up, raise our voices, and demand that our leaders agree on climate action once and for all.
