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.
