“We support our children as klimatsrejkar”
“Parents in 19 countries: young people have given us the signal – we are now obliged to act.”
“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”
“the DEBATE. On 15 march 2019, demonstrating the 1.6 million students from 125 countries and more than 2 000 cities that require urgent and ambitious decisions in order to avoid the climate crisis.”
“Climate change is now accelerating far beyond what was expected of even ten years ago, and we are on track to lose the race. International, national and regional measures, have ”been on the road” since the 1990s. Our current rate of reducing emissions is far short of what is needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C, despite Parisavtalets commitments. “
“that we shall succeed in achieving the goal of 1.5°C, we must increase the pace fivefold. What is worse is that we have already reached over 1°C warming compared with pre-industrial times and we are now on the path to over 3°C within our children’s lifetime, long beyond what is deemed safe. “
“What our children tell the research has said in many years. There is no time left. “
“Climate change is not a threat far away in time and space. It is an existential crisis whose effects we are already seeing today: the deadly forest fires in California, dying coral reefs in Australia and the historic heat waves and droughts in Japan and south Africa. “
“the united nations expects 250 million to one billion climate refugees within 50 years. Every year, 5-20 million people lose their homes if we do not rapidly stop climate change.”
“The global youth movement makes it hard work: they stand up against the inertia inherent in our current global system for protecting their – and our – future. “
“Our young people have given us the signal, it is now our moral duty as adults to respond.”
“We – parents, grandparents, guardians, and all of us who care about the next generation stands with and for our children. We are standing up for the scientific community, whose analysis of the future that awaits us in the traces, calls for immediate action.”
“Therefore, we demand urgent and more ambitious action and policy instruments in line with a future where warming is limited to 1.5°C.”
“All the countries utsläppsåtgärder must be based on the principle of fairness, to take into account both historical emissions and ability to ask about.”
“Our children have brought an awareness and opinion in the question which we have not previously seen. Their courage gives us hope. We owe it to them to act vigorously, for to hope without action is just wishful thinking. “
“Whether we want to or not, we are the last generations who can take on the challenge to stabilize our climate and avoid disastrous climate change. “
“Now we have public opinion with us, but it can only continue to grow unless we act. To support the students in their global klimatstrejk was the first step. As committed parents and grandparents, we must now lead and act with determination to secure their future. As citizens, we need to give their voices wings by voting. As consumers, we need to make choices that promote our environment.”
“Climate change will not disappear because we choose to turn away or deny them. The climate can only be stabilized if we support, act and vote for policies and candidates who stand behind a 1.5-gradersmålet. “
“the climate cataclysm can be avoided if we educate, inspire and encourage more people to act. We can succeed if we organise ourselves in every part of society.”
“Parents! We are everywhere in society: We are teachers in our classrooms, the farmers in the countryside, the workers in our factories, the bosses in the boardroom and we are the politicians who affect the political system. We have the power to build a safe, just and fossil free future for our children and for all of us.”
“To succeed in limiting climate change must be this century’s greatest success. Together, we are ready.”
