2% FOR THE PLANET

23 agosto, 2024

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warns that Arctic permafrost is melting much sooner than expected, potentially releasing large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Consequences:

• Methane release: Acceleration of methane release from underwater methane gas hydrate deposits in the Arctic Ocean.

• Temperature increase: Increase in average global temperature between 4º to 6º C, and up to 12º C at the poles.

TO DO?

UN scientific advisors recommend three key measures to avoid this planetary catastrophe:

1. Investment of 2% of global GDP: Over 2 decades to mitigate climate change.

2. Reduction of CO2 emissions:

o Official goal: Reduce emissions by 45% by 2030 (it is advisable to reach zero emissions)

o Recommendation: Reduce emissions by 80% immediately, due to the danger of the «Arctic methane bomb».

3. Clean energies:

o Proposal: Dedicate an area of land the size of Australia to the production of clean energy.

o Alternative: Reduce global energy consumption by 50% by turning off the lights in all cities after 8:00 p.m., among other measures.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Global solutions to climate change are made up of local micro-solutions. To do this, heterogeneous coalitions are necessary.

2% for the Planet Initiative:

• Global network of multisector coalitions: National and international, committed to supporting the climate objectives of each country.

• Connections:

or Cities

or States

o Private sector

o Investors

o Students

or Universities

o Scientists

o Politicians

o Civil society

Aim:

Join efforts and will to coordinate actions with national governments and carry out effective positive climate change actions.

This briefing highlights the urgency and strategies needed to address the climate crisis, highlighting the importance of global and local collaboration to mitigate the effects of climate change and avoid major disasters.

URGENT AND FAST ACTIONS NEEDED

To limit the rise in global average temperature to 1.5°C, strong and immediate action at all levels of government and segments of society is crucial. Thawing of the North Pole could release methane gas hydrates, resulting in a significant increase in global temperature and triggering irreversible flooding in coastal cities.

Key Participants:

• Business leaders

• Academic institutions

• Regional and local governments

• Civil society

These actors must collaborate to comply with the COP21 Paris Agreement and ensure a secure climate future.

WHY 2% OF GLOBAL GDP?

Risk of Economic Disruption:

Actions in the coming decades will determine whether we face economic and social disruption similar to the Great Wars and the Great Depression, according to economist Sir Nicholas Stern’s report.

Necessary Investments:

• 1% of World GDP: Necessary to mitigate the effects of climate change.

• Costs of Inaction: It would expose the world to a recession that could reach 20% of global GDP.

UNEP proposal:

• 2% of the Annual World GDP:

o 0.5%: Natural capital sectors (forests, agriculture, freshwater and fishing).

o 1%: Improve energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy (construction, industry and transportation).

o 0.5%: Waste and public transportation.

With this investment, 500 billion dollars annually could be allocated to:

• Eradicate hunger and pandemics.

• Alleviate extreme poverty.

• Plant 30 billion trees annually to capture CO2.

• Invest in fusion reactors and accelerate the manufacturing of cars with water engines.

Planetary Ecological Government:

A planetary ecological government under the system of Global Direct Digital Democracy, advised by a Science Council, would be crucial to coordinate these tasks.

WHERE WILL THE FUNDS COME FROM?

To integrate 2% of world GDP, new taxes can be imposed or reallocated:

• 0.3%: Rate on the international and national financial system.

• 8%: Tax on oil company profits.

• 5%: Net profit of multinationals.

• Seizures and reassignments:

o US$ 1 trillion in subsidies for oil, coal and gas.

o US$ 2 billion annually spent by planetary armies.

Secondary Objectives:

• Fight drug trafficking, terrorism, human trafficking and organized corruption.

• Stabilize society at a new level of balance with Nature.

Final reflection:

2% of global GDP, equivalent to almost 2 trillion dollars annually, is a viable investment considering that:

• 2% of the world’s GDP is allocated to military expenses.

• 5% to corruption.

• 2% to money laundering.

• 2% to smoking.

• 2% to drug trafficking.

• 2% to mobile telephony.

These funds could be redirected to save the planet and build a green economy. What are we waiting for?
