11/23/2022 0 Comments Radical southern green solidarity now needed for climate actions as COP27 fails!The COP27 is a failure, on a large scale. Dangling a loss and damage financing mechanism, the north avoided their obligation again -- on peaking carbon emissions, phasing out fossil fuel, a cap on methane emissions and now an even weaker standing on climate finance! Loss and damage is not a down payment. It is backpay for climate justice. IT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR WHAT WE NEED NOW! Ambitious mitigation actions & complying with financing commitments from the north is still the only way in the next 3 years to peak GHG emission or we suffer global disaster. It is foolish to wait at the last minute to act. The north is being foolish, and the south is paying the price. Yet the poor South remains fragmented despite the clear unity in inequity we suffer from. Fragmented across countries and within each country. Unable to force strong governments to stand up against the north in this climate justice hijacked. So, we in fact are more foolish if we do not act radically now! The suffering south must embargo our resources; human & material and market access flowing to and available for the north. The south must refuse to pay debt payments and withdraw political support from northern countries starting from defense pacts that keep geo-politics in its current stalemate they call balance. These must be done until the north follows!
More and more there is no more choice! When is enough, enough? The answer is blowing in the wind. And more and more are beginning to hear it! To win this battle of attrition with the uncaring north, each country in the South must be self-sufficient and weather this out on our own terms, using our own internal strengths. We must ask our people to bear the unbearable now that we still have the time. Rather than get paralyze with the anxiety of uncertainty and failure of the older generations; the youth of today must be the first to sacrifice as they are stronger, being younger to build our internal strengths and protect our boundaries starting with getting rid of the enemies already within. Citizens in every country in the South must rise up now against its corrupt, self-serving myopic elite interests dominating our domestic politics that serves their neo-colonial overlords for short term gains only of a few families and just a few generations more than the interest of the majority and the future-- the poorest who suffer most from the impacts of climate change. To pursue the radical actions needed in the next 3 years, this must be done now! Through the ballot, peacefully if the price of change is bearable and the alternative has a price too much to pay! Let us hope it is bearable! Thus, on the part of the Makakalikasan-Nature Party Philippines, Party President, Roy Cabonegro declared that “...the COP27, is yet just another global climate talks. Governments and the business interest behind them that caused climate change will never be pressured enough, soon enough! Instead, the Greens must take over governments through the ballot now! We walk in Green Days to build our strength to do this ASAP!” For more information: Mobile 0966 3718760 Email: [email protected] FB: /makakalikasan.party
