GLOBAL100RE Declaration
For Efficient Local weather Disaster Mitigation:
The World Wants 100% Renewable EnergyAs Quickly As PossibleBuilt from Backside-Up
Throughout the United Nations Local weather Ambition Summit, local weather leaders emphasised that the local weather disaster outcomes primarily from the world’s dependancy to fossil fuels. Whereas the impacts of the local weather disaster intensify everywhere in the world, disproportionately affecting people who have contributed the least, it’s now extraordinarily pressing to completely and equitably transition away from a fossil fuel-based financial system that’s dangerous to the folks and nature, in the direction of a 100% clear renewable-based power system that advantages planetary well being and our societies likewise.
A world absolutely equipped by renewable sources of power, like wind, photo voltaic, and different sustainable renewable power sources is just not solely environmentally and socially fascinating: it’s already technically and economically possible. The potential for clear renewables is huge, far exceeding the present and projected international power demand. Applied sciences are available, they’re extra inexpensive – with out subsidies –, safer, and appropriate for decentralised techniques that empower native communities. Applied sciences equivalent to nuclear power and CCS will not be wanted, and neither is the big growth of strong biomass use.
A 100% Renewable Power World has the potential of providing extra advantages, extra justice and extra participation to the numerous, as renewable energies are universally obtainable and can’t and shouldn’t be monopolized. Renewables are accessible in every single place in abundance and so they belong to everybody.
Accordingly, 100% renewable power globally should be the brand new regular!
The World 100% Renewable Power Platform calls upon all actors – policy- and decision-makers, governments in any respect ranges, cities and areas, enterprise and industries, in addition to residents – to speed up the transition in the direction of 100% Renewable Power in an environment friendly, simply, democratic, inclusive, and equitable method now:
Shifting to 100% RE techniques can solely occur in parallel to a simply and equitable phase-out of fossil fuels and nuclear power, coupled with sturdy power effectivity and sufficiency measures.
A 100% renewable power system should be constructed from bottom-up, in a democratic, inclusive and participatory method, serving the numerous on our planet.
Whereas we emphasise {that a} 100% renewable power financial system is useful for all nations, as demanded by the UN’s Secretary Common, wealthier nations are obliged to realize net-zero emissions quicker and sooner than different nations, by accelerating the quick growth of renewables. Additional, they need to additionally present considerably enhanced monetary assist to growing nations, broadening and enabling renewable power funding and possession.
Whereas we welcome the decision by a number of organisations, governments and trade to triple renewable electrical energy capability by 2030 in comparison with 2022 ranges, the speed of deployment required to realize this aim will must be maintained, ideally stepped up, properly past 2030 to maintain us on monitor in the direction of 100% Renewable Power as quickly as attainable. The transition must occur throughout all sectors of power technology and use, not simply electrical energy.
We assist nations in growing participatory approaches with civil society and others to embark on figuring out and agreeing honest and equitable nationwide renewable power targets consistent with at the least an annual 1.5 TW progress of sustainable renewable power capability. We encourage worldwide organisations just like the Worldwide Renewable Power Company (IRENA) and governments to develop and assist 100% renewable power pathways at nationwide and subnational ranges, to function a information for coverage making.
Worldwide commitments are essential, however their implementation on nationwide ranges must be independently, transparently and scientifically monitored. Rising renewable power targets should be translated at nationwide, regional and native stage by means of inclusive and clear participation of residents and native actors. Relating to renewable power, native and decentralised options are elementary elements of the local weather and power resolution. Native and regional (subnational) governments have a key function on this and must be empowered to behave.
Accordingly, we encourage residents and communities all over the world to capitalise on the big advantages of their renewable power future and take the power provide into their very own arms. Governments shall assist such endeavours.
Not solely renewable power is vital to deal with the local weather disaster, however it’s also instrumental in offering common entry to scrub electrical energy, decreasing dangerous air pollution, creating jobs, and regaining management over our power techniques, whereas making them extra resilient and democratic.
