Sharing
for Survival
· Describes a workable strategy for stabilising the climate
in a way that ensures social justice
· Includes the developing country perspective on climate policy
· Will be of interest to climate activists, campaigners and
academics
Sharing for Survival recognises that official climate policy is dominated
by states in thrall to fossil fuel and financial lobbies. It offers
a realistic radical way to rapidly reduce emissions through stabilising
the economy and ensuring social justice. Its authors explore climate
policy in a way that ensures social justice and equity matter, recognising
that the UNFCCC process is going nowhere. They explore the impact
of fossil fuel depletion on the climate crisis, and challenge the
idea that the climate crisis can be resolved in a growth economy.
They also:
· propose no-nonsense approaches to controlling upstream fossil
fuel emissions
· explain how climate governance would be best developed through
civil society organisations working together globally
· explore different ideas as to where the carbon revenue should
go - to the people or communities - and explain why supporting indigenous
people, rather than trading in carbon, is the best strategy for reducing
deforestation emissions
· look at climate policy from the point of view of the countries
of the south.
