paris is not the end of the world.
December's climate summit has been critisized for being
a playground for the fossil industries. This may be right,
but the first universal agreement on global warming is nevertheless
a bench mark, finally.
To keep temperatures under 2 degrees warming,
as virtually all the governments of the world agreed, will hence
not be achieved by those respective governments alone: Everyone
can hold this against them.
Who is "them"? Is not everyone a Climate Changer?
AVYAKTA champions an
individual approach to a global pheonomenon.
The amount of resources and energy used
per person varies, of course, immensely.
But AVYAKTA aims at getting
beyond a mere enlisting of consumption levels:
What makes AVYAKTA potentially usefull for a future below 2 degrees
is the remembering of indirect harm. Indirect harm is extremely
difficult to measure, so AVYAKTA, as a collective work, will be
drawn from a variety of sources.
Not just: Who's primary consumption is the highest?
But: Who's obstructive and dangerous behaviour threates progress
on mitigating climate change as a whole?
Only by telling a different story, about who and for which reasons
fails to act (or even acts counterproductively), will 2 degrees come
into reach. Otherwise Paris will remain just another summit.
Thus AVYAKTA wishes to contribute to an ongoing discussion and
thanks all its actors in advance!
Thank you.
