INTERNATIONAL CALL OF KLIMAFORUM10, CANCUN

INTERNATIONAL CALL OF KLIMAFORUM10, CANCUN
Para version en espanol oprima aqui...
We call upon all social movements, autonomous organizations of indigenous people, nomads, peasants and fishermen, workers, women, youth, teachers, students, neighbors, social activists, environmental, ecological and animal rights activists, professionals, pensioners, thinkers, scientists, and citizens in general to participate in the Klimaforum10, to be held in Cancun – Puerto Morelos, Mexico, between the 26^th of November and the 11^th of December 2010, in parallel to the COP16 hosted by the United Nations.
CONTEXT
This year we have witnessed new manifestations of extreme weather conditions, which are clear consequences of the climatic disaster. The floods in Pakistan have killed thousands and have displaced at least 20 million people. In China 3,400 people were killed in only one day and more than 12 million have lost their homes. 17 countries have registered record breaking temperatures. Russia suffered a severe heat wave and fires and recorded its maximum temperature ever. On the 5^th of August, a NASA satellite detected a massive section break off the glacier Petermann, off the north coast of Greenland. Mexico has suffered several catastrophic floods throughout 10 states, as well as the severe consequences of hurricane Alex in Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon and Coahuila. All these symptoms confirm the signs of the growing tendency of extreme weather anomalies.
THE KLIMAFORUM10 INITIATIVE
Following the failure of the official Copenhagen summit, a group of 30 Danish NGOs passed the Klimaforum baton to representatives of Mexican NGOs. The Klimaforum09, involved some 50,000 activists in more than 300 events. The organising committee was established in February and meetings immediately began with Mexican NGOs to work together to create an autonomous environmental summit, free from corporate or governmental intervention in parallel to the United Nations COP16 summit.
Klimaforum10 opens a space for all the people, where they can gather, debate on constructive solutions, propose and find consensus towards coordinated international action in the face of the climate crisis. Where governments fail, the people shall prevail.
OBJECTIVES

• Strengthen the global movement towards climate justice.
• Evaluate and influence the decisions made at the COP16.

Reducing the ecological footprint of the event
Most summits are dependent on the services of hotels, restaurants, taxis and public transport, however in the face of the current paradigm, to us it seems incoherent that a summit that seeks to address environmental issues should conform to the guiding tendencies, especially considering environmental impacts that an event of this magnitude can create. This is why we have been seeking the best solutions at our disposal to reduce our environmental impact.
Amongst them: the capacity to host thousands at walking distance thus preventing unnecessary emissions, activity tents with dynamic ventilation, dry toilets, recycling stations, our no packaging policy, nor corporate advertising nor multinational products, our vegetarian diet.
This is only a fraction of what can be done, which is why we ask for everyone's support to make this event achieve its objectives.

THE KLIMAFORUM10 COMMITTEE
Klimaforum10 has confronted some severe obstacles from the moment it formed his Promotion Committee on the 2nd of February 2010, with the representation of small grassroots organizations in Mexico. It represents an authentic political expression, a defiant voice that seeks to protect the rights of nature and its sentient beings. In September the Klimaforum Mexico A.C. was legally registered with the objective of administrating funds and managing the requirements of the summit. At the same time, the Klimaforum10 Organization Committee was created.
WE NEED YOUR COLLABORATION TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Klimaforum10 aims to organize a forum with complete political autonomy. For this reason, it is not financed by governments, big companies or corporate NGOs who generally try to impose their hidden agenda. We hope that you, fellow activists, all understand the great economical limitations we face and that you are willing to help us cover the costs of the Klimaforum10 People´s Climate Summit by contributing with an entrance fee of 5 US dollars a day for your visit. In case of any proceeds, these will be transferred to ecological projects, which will be selected by the participants in an open democratic assembly on the 11^th of December. The guidelines for this assembly will be debated in the forums during the summit.
The stabilization the climate is essential to the survival of all species on earth, it's a matter of intergenerational justice. People of all ages and creeds unite in the demand for effective solutions that will preserve life on the planet.
We, the people have the capacity and the necessity to solve these issues with understanding, solidarity and perseverance. We have the possibility to create another world!
