L’immense et riche diversité d'écosystèmes, de faune et de flore incomparable des Parcs de Virunga et Salonga qui est d’une valeur universelle exceptionnelle est aujourd’hui menacée par une série d’attribution des licences d'explorations pétrolières du gouvernement de la République Démocratique du Congo à travers le ministère des Hydrocarbures. Devant cette menace qui pèse sur ces parcs légendaires, classés au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en même temps sites RAMSAR qui hébergent une biodiversité impressionnante dont des espèces rares et en voie de disparition qui n'existent nulle part ailleurs dans le monde, les communautés riveraines ainsi que la société civile locale s’est mobilisée pour s’opposer à ces licences d'exploration pétrolière qui auraient des conséquences dramatiques sur les vies et droits des communautés locales dont la déforestation, l'insécurité, la pollution, la destruction des moyens de subsistance des communautés et le dérèglement climatique. Les communautés riveraines ainsi que la société civile locale en appellent au gouvernement congolais pour le strict respect des lois de la République et des conventions internationales en matière de sauvegarde de l’environnement, de promotion et protection des droits des paysans, d’investissements prioritaires dans les énergies renouvelables pour promouvoir le développement durable des économies locales à travers des alternatives économiques existantes au sein des aires protégées. Elles exigent un arrêt immédiat du processus d’octroi des licences d’exploration du pétrole dans ces écosystèmes sensibles, notamment le projet de désaffection d’une partie du Parc des Virunga et d’une autre partie du Parc de la Solanga, tous inscrits au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO et faisant partie des sites RAMSAR.

Nós, povos indígenas brasileiros, diante da gravidade da crise climática, sabemos que o tempo para agir é agora. Somos testemunhas de quem está incendiando o planeta e o impacto devastador disso nos nossos territórios e nas nossas vidas: seca severa, isolamento forçado, doenças, falta de alimento, invasões, conflitos e mortes. Com o colapso iminente das condições de vida no mundo, ações fortes e efetivas precisam ser tomadas. Não haverá preservação da vida em um planeta em chamas. A crise climática é também uma crise de liderança e de valores. Nós nunca abdicamos de defender a vida e não vamos nos perder em discussões vazias e compromissos estéreis. Enquanto os governos continuam querendo mediar metas insuficientes e financiamentos vazios, queremos anunciar que, a partir de agora, nós vamos assumir a liderança para uma mobilização global pela vida no planeta.  Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil (APIB) Coordenação das Organizações Indígenas da Amazônia Brasileira (COIAB) Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Nordeste, Minas Gerais e Espírito Santo (APOINME) Conselho do Povo Terena  Grande Assembleia do povo Guarani (ATY GUASU) Comissão Guarani Yvyrupa (CGY) Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Sudeste (ARPINSUDESTE) Articulação dos Povos Indígenas da Região Sul (ARPINSUL) https://350.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/logo-set.png

We, the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, in the face of the gravity of the climate crisis, know that the time to act is now. We know who is setting the planet on fire and we feel the devastating impacts in our territories and our lives: severe drought, forced isolation, diseases, lack of food, invasions, conflicts, and deaths. With the imminent collapse of living conditions in the world, strong and effective actions must be taken. There will be no life on a burning planet. The climate crisis is also a crisis of leadership and values. We have never given up on defending life, and we will not get lost in empty discussions and sterile commitments. While governments continue to mediate insufficient targets and empty fundings, we want to announce that, from now on, we will take the lead in a global mobilization for life on the planet.

Belgium is one of the most dense country in the world (about 350 inhabitant per square km). Cities such as Bruxelles are even denser. In the meantime, Belgium and especially Uccle, is also a place with one of the highest GDP per habitant in the world. Since GDP is correlated with energy consumption, which is until now dominated by fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil), this means that on average Belgium citizens consume way to much energy. While renewable energy, or green energy (e.g. solar panels, windmills) needs to be promoted instead of fossil fuel energy, the most important is to drastically reduce energy consumption. This can be achieved if strong measures, as described above, are adopted. Consuming less energy does not mean having less well-being. Cars, fast-food and fast-fashion do not create happiness for the consumer, they just make CEOs of big corporations wealthier by increasing their profit while destroying the environment that is yet essential for a decent life for all.   

  Queremos que la vida del Pueblo sea parte de un mundo más  justo y libre de combustibles fósiles. Si nuestro gobierno local y central  comienzan a invertir en iniciativas y proyectos de energía renovable liderados por la comunidad  nos estaremos ayudando a que nuestra comunidad prospe positivamente. Estas iniciativas y proyectos  respaldarán las preferencias por el uso de vehículos sin uso de combustible fosil y aportar a una  transición energética con el uso de la Bicicleta y/o la preferencia a caminar,eso  reducirá nuestras facturas y limpiarán nuestro aire. Si logramos, el cambiarnos a un nuevo estilo de vida,  por la vía de  transportarnos con el menor uso de vehículos a combustible fosil, por sobre el uso de la bicicleta y la preferencia por caminar,  entonces podemos  los cambios en el mundo que esperas ver tienen sentido. 

55 bin kişilik bir stadyumun bir maçta harcadığı enerji 164 hanenin yıllık elektrik tüketimine eşit. Temiz bir gelecek ve iklim kriziyle mücadelede enerji dönüşümü çok önemli. Spor kulüpleri bu konuda öncü olabilir. Sen de harekete geç, stadyumlar güneş enerjisiyle aydınlansın.

Bu ikonik yapıyı güneş enerjisiyle aydınlatarak hem ekonomik tasarruf sağlayabilir hem de iklim kriziyle mücadele için bir adım atabiliriz. Esenler Otogarı aslında bir örnek ve bir başlangıç; tüm şehirlerdeki tüm otogarların bağlı bulundukları yerel yönetimlerden aynı talepte bulunabiliriz.  Bunun için oluşturduğum kampanyayı imzaladıktan sonra lütfen arkadaşlarınla paylaşmayı unutma.  Katılımın ve desteğin için şimdiden çok teşekkürler!

19. yüzyılda İstanbul'a havagazı tedariki için kurulan Hasanpaşa Gazhanesi 1993'te kapatıldı. Yıkılması gündemde olan bölgeye Gazhane Çevre Gönüllüleri sahip çıktı ve gazhanenin bir kültür mirası olarak addedilmesi için uzun yıllar mücadele etti.  2021 yılında ise İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi tarafından Müze Gazhane olarak yeniden açıldı. Çeşitli etkinliklerin, kültür faaliyetlerinin gerçekleştiği Müze Gazhane içerisinde bir de İklim Müzesi'ni barındırıyor. Eskiden bir fosil yakıt tedariki merkezi olan, bugün ise içinde İklim Müzesi'ni barındıran Müze Gazhane'nin elektriğini yenilenebilir enerjiden almalı. Gücünü yenilenebilir enerjiden alacak Müze Gazhane'nin ancak o zaman İklim Müzesi'ni hakedeceğine ve gerçek anlamda dönüşümünü tamamlayacağına inanıyorum.

The impacts of the climate crisis are literally on our doorsteps, threatening our health, homes, and communities. We can’t face this disaster alone, and we cannot shoulder the costs as individuals. Our government must make a bold investment in a Universal Heat Pump Program to save lives, cut our bills, and protect the planet. • HEAT PUMPS SAVE LIVES: Extreme heat is worsening every year, putting our health and safety at risk. Heat pumps could have saved hundreds of lives by keeping people cool during the B.C. Heat Dome of 2021 – and they would save thousands more as climate change continues to worsen. Heat pumps often replace natural gas heating systems, which pose their own health risks. Everyone deserves to be safe in their homes as the climate crisis escalates.  • HEAT PUMPS CUT OUR BILLS: People across Canada are struggling to pay our bills and feed our families as the cost of living spirals out of control. Providing and installing free heat pumps in every household, including rental homes, is a concrete way for the federal government to cut utility costs for ordinary people across the country. We can’t afford to wait any longer.  • HEAT PUMPS PROTECT THE PLANET: Fossil fuels are the root cause of the climate crisis – it’s time to kick Big Oil out of our homes and communities! A Universal Heat Pump Program, powered by affordable renewable energy, will reduce our dependence on oil and gas, cut emissions, and safeguard our planet for future generations.  The federal government must commit to climate solutions that materially improve our lives, both now and in the future. Heat Pumps for All!
