Global warming will reach the “1.5°C limit” for a stable global climate in approximately three years, sometime in 2029.1
Global warming is already accelerating.4
GHG emissions impact global warming with a time lag of approximately 30 years5; the effects on climate change are even more delayed.
Current political structures and processes – including UN Climate Change (UNFCCC) COPs – have failed.
This demands a significant change in how we mitigate global warming.
This significant change can only come from “We the Peoples” of the world.
It is time for the first official global vote on ‘climate action’ (one person, one vote), to be carried out by UN Climate Change (UNFCCC) as soon as possible.6
This first official global vote, conducted using state-of-the-art e-voting technology, will easily involve up to 5.5 billion people aged 16+ who use the internet daily. The simple but essential question will be: “Do you want stronger climate action?” (Yes or No).
