Civil Society uniting under common message

NGO observers for COP15 are uniting under common messaging. In recent days finally we can see strong tendency for different structures to work out message, that will unite different movements. Time till the end of negotiations and till the end of the period when civil society is allowed in the negotiations venue are disturbingly close. That is why the stress was moved from specific policy solutions to stronger push towards more general, ambitious solutions. The direction the negotiations are going now does not provide a safe future to today's youth generation neither safe present for hundreds of thousands of people from the most vulnerable and least responsible states.

The movement is officially uniting under same aims with hope for strengthening the voice and making the demand for policy regulations even more clear and visible. 350 ppm of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, fast-track financing for the adaptation for least developed countries, committing 5% of GMP to the adaptation fund and achieving 45% mitigation below 1990 levels by 2020 are the strongest postulates. Bringing coherency to the civil society voice is a big step in building up the structure, on which future, sustainable changes can be built.
