Interlinkages

Targets

Limit global temperature rise to under 1.5 degrees, consistent with the latest climate science, through drastic emissions cuts and a fair sharing of the global carbon budget that takes into account historical emissions without resorting to offsets.

Implementation icon

Need to put into place enablers that shield local populations from the harmful effects of climate change, and development policies that respect the rights of the people including indigenous communities and that companies respect the welfare of local communities.

Implementation iconpeace icon

Provide adequate and appropriate finance contributed by countries on the basis of historical responsibility for global warming to make reparations to all affected peoples (in line with the $100 billion per year promised in the 2010 Cancun Agreements).

Implementation icon

Developed countries should commit to obligatory, additional, non-debt creating public finance to cover the full cost of adaptations to climate change.

Implementation icon

Ensure sharing of safe, appropriate, ecologically and socially sound technologies unhindered by intellectual property rights.

Implementation icon

Governments and international agencies should also develop appropriate mechanisms to prevent disasters and develop resilience strategies.

Implementation icon

Shift to and expand renewable energy use.

The responses to water shortages/scarcity need to be emphasized especially in context of the dependence on agriculture in most Asian countries.
