Common message from all youth to governments all over the world

« Survival is not Negotiable »

« Justice  is not Negotiable »

“No decision about us without us”

Today, we want to communicate considering that:

We speak on behalf of all the youth, for more than 100 countries gathered here in Copenhagen. Every single youth suffering from adverse effects of climate change concerns all of us.

We want to “speak the truth”, following Scientifics emergencies.

We aim at follow proposals of parties as ambitious as possible.

Here are our demands:

- Bring back the global CO2 -or equivalent- concentration below 350ppm as soon as possible.

- Call upon every rich country to pay their climate debt.

- Provide 5% of Annex I countries‘ GDP for adaptation and mitigation developing countries, in addition to ODA.

- Provide 400 billion dollars public finance by developed countries for fast track financing

- Reduce at least by 45% Green House Gas emissions for Annex I countries by 2020 on the basis of 1990 level, with no offsets.
