What does Fridays For Future want?

Basically there are only two things that Fridays For Future asks from governments, politicians, the media, journalists, business leaders and other people in power or with influence in the world:

  1. Recognize the scientific facts as exposed by the IPCC report, with special attention for page 108, chapter 2.
  2. Comply with the Paris agreement at least.

In essence this means:

  • reduce human CO2 emissions to zero as soon as possible as well as of other greenhouse gases
  • stop all use of fossile fuels and its derivates: coal, gas, oil and plastics
  • reduce air travel, meat consumption, “fast fashion”
  • abandon “business as usual” and bring about a full global system change that puts Planet & People in the first place instead Money & Markets

8 Things You Need to Know About the IPCC 1.5˚C Report
New research from the world’s leading climate scientists finds that annual emissions will need to be roughly half what they are today by 2030 in order to limit temperature rise to 1.5˚C. Exceeding this level of warming will bring climate impacts so catastrophic the world will be unrecognizable.
