В сентябре на улицах Нью-Йорка вершилась история: более 400 тысяч человек вышли, чтобы сказать миру: «Нам нужны действия в защиту климата – сейчас!» И КС20 в Лиме должна стать поворотным моментом в переговорах: политическая воля правительств должна соответствовать этому призыву людей по всему миру быть амбициозными в борьбе против изменения климата.
Создание Дурбанской платформы активизации действий (ADP) стало результатом КС17, и результатом ее работы должно стать новое глобальное климатическое соглашение, которое планируется утвердить в рамках КС21 в Париже в 2015 году.
20-я Конференция Сторон в Лиме – это ключ к следующему этапу переговоров, так как именно на этой встрече должны быть определены параметры нового соглашения. В Лиме делегаты должны руководствоваться последними научными данными, представленными МГЭИК, и общественным импульсом, требующим активных действий, и направить политическую волю на то, чтобы решения по форме, содержанию и амбициозности нового соглашения были приняты.
КС в Лиме должна заложить основы для результата в Париже, и Climate Action Network представляет свой взгляд на то, какие задачи должны быть решены делегатами КС20, чтобы заложить качественный фундамент для будущего соглашения на период после 2015 года.
ОСНОВНЫЕ РЕШЕНИЯ, КОТОРЫЕ ДОЛЖНЫ БЫТЬ ПРИНЯТЫ КС20
УВЕЛИЧЕНИЕ АМБИЦИЙ ПО СМЯГЧЕНИЮ ПОСЛЕДСТВИЙ ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ КЛИМАТА И ФИНАНСАМ НА ПЕРИОД ДО 2020 ГОДА
ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЕ РАМОК И СОДЕРЖАНИЯ СОГЛАШЕНИЯ НА ПЕРИОД ПОСЛЕ 2015 ГОДА
Текст решения по Предполагаемым национально определяемым вкладам (INDC) должен включать:
Решение по элементам соглашения на период после 2015 года должно включать:

Climate Action Network is calling for the Russian Government to end its persecution of our member organization, Moscow-based environmental NGO, Ecodefense. Recently, the Russian Ministry of Justice accused Ecodefense of being a 'foreign agent' - meaning the organization may get shut down.
Ecodefense is under attack from the Russian authorities because it is campaigning against the construction of the Baltic Nuclear Power Plant, according to Irina Stavchuk, coordinator of Climate Action Network in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (CAN EECCA).
“Charges of falling foul of the law on foreign agents are often levelled against independent organisations which criticise the actions of the Russian government,” Stavchuk said.
“The charges against Ecodefense are baseless - they are being made to smooth the way for Russia’s nuclear lobby, and to steamroll over public opposition to the new nuclear plant.”
According to this Law, civil society organizations funded by foreign sources and engaged in "political activities" can be registered as 'foreign agents', which not only discredits them in the eyes of the public but also allows authorities to shut down entire organizations.
Ecodefense is one of the oldest members of the Climate Action Network in the region and is renowned for its climate and anti-nuclear campaigning. Ecodefense publishes a popular newsletter which provides one of the only outlets for civil society in the region to criticize governments for failing to take sufficient action to protect the environment.
“Ecodefense is defending the interests of the Russian citizens and their rights to a healthy environment by opposing the importation into Russia of nuclear waste, construction of nuclear power plants and other dangerous projects,” Stavchuk said.
The campaign against the construction of the Baltic NPP is an illustration of the Organization acting in the interests of the Russian citizens and the entire Baltic region.
To successfully combat climate change, Russia along with the rest of the world, needs massively upscale investment in renewable energy. Nuclear energy has been shown to be a false solution to the climate crisis as it is expensive and dangerous - as the Chernobyl nuclear accident which occurred nearby proved. Polling has shown residents in the regions around where the power plant is planned oppose its construction.
