The Hague, November 19, 2000-In sharp contrast to the formal climate negotiations, representatives of communities affected by the fossil fuel industry, countries threatened by global warming's rising tides and grassroots groups working for international environmental justice opened the First Climate Justice Summit today. Gathering at The Hague's Concordia Theater, speakers from around the world called for "Climate Justice"-solutions to the climate change problem that promote human rights, equity, labor rights and environmental justice globally and locally.
Conference participants placed much of the blame for both global warming and the lace of significant progress in the climate negotiations on giant oil corporations. Delegates from people of color communities in the United States, Mexico, and South Africa lay the groundwork for building a global climate justice movement. Dr. Delhi Climate Justice Declaration. Communities from around the world gathered at the Climate Justice Summit in New Delhi on October 26 and 27, 2002 to provide testimony to the fact that climate change is a reality whose effects are already being felt around the world.
Over 1500 participants from 17 states in India and over 20 countries, and comprising mostly of farmers, fishworkers, the poor, Indigenous Peoples, Dalits, youth and the development displaced in India, attended the summit. India, home to a sixth of the world's population, is under assault from climate change impacts and if allowed to continue, it will further devastate the health and livelihoods of communities. Year of Climate Justice. Listen Year of Climate Justice First Minister Alex Salmond has urged world leaders to make 2012 a 'year of climate justice' ahead of a major United Nations conference on sustainable development in June.
The FM said climate justice should be the focus of sustainable development during 2012 and form a major part of discussions at the Rio+20 to be held in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Climate justice would link human rights and development, put people at the heart of our economic system, and allow all to share the burdens of climate change and benefit from its resolution. The call comes after the FM raised the issue of climate justice during a speech to the influential Communist Central Party School in Beijing during his recent trip to China.
