The global size of the climate change problem requires a radical re-think
about the purpose and format of the annual gathering of tens of
thousands of people from all countries of the world to focus on actions
rather than just negotiating about action. @SaleemulHuq

28. 25. Climate change is a global problem with grave implications: environmental,
social, economic, political and for the distribution of goods. It represents one of the
principal challenges facing humanity in our day. Its worst impact will probably be
felt by developing countries in coming decades. Many of the poor live in areas
particularly affected by phenomena related to warming, and their means of
subsistence are largely dependent on natural reserves and ecosystemic services
such as agriculture, fishing and forestry. They have no other financial activities or
resources which can enable them to adapt to climate change or to face natural
disasters, and their access to social services and protection is very limited. For
example, changes in climate, to which animals and plants cannot adapt, lead them to
migrate; this in turn affects the livelihood of the poor, who are then forced to leave
their homes, with great uncertainty for their future and that of their children. There
has been a tragic rise in the number of migrants seeking to flee from the growing
poverty caused by environmental degradation. They are not recognized by
international conventions as refugees; they bear the loss of the lives they have left
behind, without enjoying any legal protection whatsoever. Sadly, there is
widespread indifference to such suffering, which is even now taking place
throughout our world. Our lack of response to these tragedies involving our brothers
and sisters points to the loss of that sense of responsibility for our fellow men and
women upon which all civil society is founded.

91. Now, I know there are still a few who insist
that climate change is one big hoax – even a
political conspiracy. My friends, these
people are so out of touch with science that
they believe rising sea levels don’t matter,
because in their view, the extra water is
just going to spill out over the sides of a
flat Earth.

92. This election is about climate change, the
greatest environmental crisis facing our
planet, and the need to leave this world in
a way that is healthy and habitable for our
kids and future generations.
