The Climate Emergency

"Our goals need to shift from GDP growth and the pursuit of affluence toward sustaining ecosystems and improving human well-being by prioritizing basic needs and reducing inequality."

This is the study released on 5 November 2019 with 11,258 scientists' signatories from 153 countries collectively declaring the climate emergency.

This thread is not to shame anyone or hold any grudges for any past actions or comments.

The UN's Sustainable Development Goal 17 states:

"A successful sustainable development agenda requires partnerships between governments, the private sector and civil society. These inclusive partnerships built upon principles and values, a shared vision, and shared goals that place people and the planet at the centre, are needed at the global, regional, national and local level."

The internet is a place where we can feel as though we are being publicly shamed by an angry mob with pitchforks for not writing the ultimate explanation of the perfect solution to the problems of life on Planet Earth.

We've all lived and learnt different ways and have our own different reasons, and that's OK.

But now, it's not OK to insult others for being at a different stage in transitioning from humanity's currently far-from-perfect management of our shared land, water, and air.

It's possible to be assertive without being aggressive.

This applies to our interactions online, at home, on the street, in the media, and in understanding what fears and responsibilities our politicians have and those who work for us and provide services.

We have discovered our own solutions to averting or resolving conflict and can learn from others.

It's impossible to know the answer to everything even in an age of Google.

Let's discuss what changes are being made on a personal, local, regional, national, and global level.



We need causes and solutions, not labels, scapegoats, or villains.


Share stories in your area about how causes of environmental damage and inequalities are being reduced.

Tell us how sustainable methods of living and development are being implemented.
