Imagine an end to missing climate targets and politicians making empty pledges

Imagine climate action that takes scientific findings seriously.

You don’t have to imagine. Decades of failure can be ended right now. If we unite to make it real.

Our global campaign begins in Germany with Unite-Against-Climate-Failure demanding the German government:

01 | Admit failure: There is no viable pathway for staying below the global 1.5°C warming limit. Make this the headline of the world climate summit in November. And then act on failure like climate science matters:

02 | Cancel debt: Demand the world community cancel financial debt owed by countries that have done the least to cause climate change

03 | Decarbonise Transport: Initiate a just and rapid decarbonisation of the transport sector.

Won’t happen without you! It doesn’t matter that you live outside Germany. You can help make an international statement. Unite-Against-Climate-Failure is ready to share your voice – alongside members of the German public – with over 150 of the most trusted and influential climate experts and public figures in Germany who we need for our first campaign win.

Dear Trusted Influencer,

A 1.5°C+ world is now about 10-years away. As a concerned member of the public outside of Germany, I urge you to speak freely and publicly about there being no viable pathway for staying below the global 1.5°C warming limit.

I know you are already doing your best to get action on climate change. But you know we are failing. And we are not going to stop failing until we all admit it. How else can governments be stopped from hiding behind empty pledges to cut carbon emissions?

The Unite-Against-Climate-Failure campaign is asking for honesty. You can help make this happen.

If you are receiving this message as a climate expert or academic:

  • Please join the 570+ academics from all over the world that have signed an open letter saying it is no longer defensible to say 1.5°C is still alive.

If you are a public figure, please use your social media to support the demands of Unite-Against-Climate-Failure. Please demand your government:

  • Admit there is no viable pathway for staying below the global 1.5°C warming limit. Make this the headline of the world climate summit in November.
  • Write immediately to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, calling for the cancellation of all debt owed by countries that have done the least to cause the climate crisis.
  • Initiate a just and rapid decarbonisation of the transport sector. Implement obvious measures: a speed limit of 100km/h on motorways, and affordable public transport starting with the revival of the 9€-Ticket

By acting on failure, the German government can show the world at November’s climate meeting that countries can shift to emergency mode.

Let’s all Unite Against Climate Failure.

Signed,
