GLOBAL100RE Declaration 
For Efficient Local weather Disaster Mitigation:
The World Wants 100% Renewable Power
As Quickly As Doable
Constructed from Backside-Up
Through the United Nations Local weather Ambition Summit, local weather leaders emphasised that the local weather disaster outcomes primarily from the world’s dependancy to fossil fuels. Whereas the impacts of the local weather disaster intensify all around the world, disproportionately affecting people who have contributed the least, it’s now extraordinarily pressing to completely and equitably transition away from a fossil fuel-based financial system that’s dangerous to the folks and nature, in direction of a 100% clear renewable-based power system that advantages planetary well being and our societies likewise.
A world absolutely equipped by renewable sources of power, like wind, photo voltaic, and different sustainable renewable power sources just isn’t solely environmentally and socially fascinating: it’s already technically and economically possible. The potential for clear renewables is huge, far exceeding the present and projected world power demand. Applied sciences are available, they’re extra reasonably priced – with out subsidies –, safer, and appropriate for decentralised programs that empower native communities. Applied sciences comparable to nuclear power and CCS will not be wanted, and neither is the big enlargement of stable biomass use.
A 100% Renewable Power World has the potential of providing extra advantages, extra justice and extra participation to the numerous, as renewable energies are universally out there and can’t and shouldn’t be monopolized. Renewables are accessible all over the place in abundance they usually belong to everybody.
Accordingly, 100% renewable power globally should be the brand new regular!
The World 100% Renewable Power Platform calls upon all actors – policy- and decision-makers, governments in any respect ranges, cities and areas, enterprise and industries, in addition to residents – to speed up the transition in direction of 100% Renewable Power in an environment friendly, simply, democratic, inclusive, and equitable method now:
-
Shifting to 100% RE programs can solely occur in parallel to a simply and equitable phase-out of fossil fuels and nuclear power, coupled with sturdy power effectivity and sufficiency measures.
-
A 100% renewable power system should be constructed from bottom-up, in a democratic, inclusive and participatory approach, serving the numerous on our planet.
-
Whereas we emphasise {that a} 100% renewable power financial system is helpful for all international locations, as demanded by the UN’s Secretary Common, wealthier nations are obliged to attain net-zero emissions sooner and sooner than different international locations, by accelerating the quick enlargement of renewables. Additional, they need to additionally present considerably enhanced monetary assist to creating international locations, broadening and enabling renewable power funding and possession.
-
Whereas we welcome the decision by a number of organisations, governments and trade to triple renewable electrical energy capability by 2030 in comparison with 2022 ranges, the speed of deployment required to attain this objective will have to be maintained, ideally stepped up, nicely past 2030 to maintain us on observe in direction of 100% Renewable Power as quickly as potential. The transition must occur throughout all sectors of power era and use, not simply electrical energy.
-
We assist nations in creating participatory approaches with civil society and others to embark on figuring out and agreeing truthful and equitable nationwide renewable power targets in step with at the very least an annual 1.5 TW development of sustainable renewable power capability. We encourage worldwide organisations just like the Worldwide Renewable Power Company (IRENA) and governments to develop and assist 100% renewable power pathways at nationwide and subnational ranges, to function a information for coverage making.
-
Worldwide commitments are essential, however their implementation on nationwide ranges have to be independently, transparently and scientifically monitored. Rising renewable power targets should be translated at nationwide, regional and native stage by means of inclusive and clear participation of residents and native actors. On the subject of renewable power, native and decentralised options are basic elements of the local weather and power resolution. Native and regional (subnational) governments have a key position on this and have to be empowered to behave.
-
Accordingly, we encourage residents and communities world wide to capitalise on the large advantages of their renewable power future and take the power provide into their very own arms. Governments shall assist such endeavours.
-
Not solely renewable power is essential to deal with the local weather disaster, however it’s also instrumental in offering common entry to scrub electrical energy, decreasing dangerous air pollution, creating jobs, and regaining management over our power programs, whereas making them extra resilient and democratic.
