We Need More Than Just A Climate Week!
This week marks the start of "Climate Week" in New York City. In participation with the United Nations, NGOs, business executives, and politicians will join for over 600 sessions with the theme "It's Time." A message of urgency, that unfortunately falls far short of the reality.
The climate crisis demands a set of bold solutions that need to be enacted NOW. So, what is actually happening at the United Nations during this year’s “Climate Week”? It is as usual, dominated by corporate interests, greenwashing initiatives, and the leaders of the world’s largest polluters usually calling the shots. Climate justice activists are hosting peripheral events and there are the usual protests. It was three years ago that the UN Secretary General declared that it is Code Red on climate change and slow walking climate action by elected officials has opened up the Gates of Hell. Since then, the parties of War and Wall Street have fast tracked this country and the world right down to those gates.
This madness stops now by electing Green Party candidates who will cut-off funding for fossil fuel infrastructure, make polluters pay and change the U.S. from being the second largest emitter of greenhouse gasses to a leader in putting people and planet over profits.
“If elected president, on Day One, I will declare a climate emergency and unleash $1 trillion in funds to begin implementing the Green Party’s signature Green New Deal, which calls for a 100% clean renewable energy transition by 2030, massive investments in green businesses and infrastructure, and an end to fossil fuel extraction.” - Jill Stein |
While millionaire and billionaire executives and politicians are enjoying luxury accommodations and debating "market-based climate solutions" and "green growth" the Green Party is shouting out that "IT'S WAY PAST TIME!" for the radical climate action we need to save a habitable planet.
Resolving the existential threat posed by climate change requires building a different world, one committed to principles of sustainability and the common good. We cannot count on "market-based solutions" and the infinite growth delusions of end-stage capitalism. The Green Party is the only national party with the plans, the commitment, fully committed to effective climate action and with the plans to make that action a reality.
