<DIV dir=ltr>
<DIV><B>Fridays for the Rights of Future Generations </B><BR><BR>Young people
were born into a world of climate change, pollution, loss of biodiversity and
the realities of vast inequality. Generations before us knew we would have to
face the consequences of climate change, yet we were excluded from the
decision-making processes. Now, we must work together with all generations for
intergenerational equity to get a legitimate seat at the table, demanding the
protection of our future. <BR><BR>In the face of the climate crisis and its
catastrophic consequences, we need to be united and demand to be heard.
Cooperation between generations is the key to achieving a future where life can
thrive and where the rights of all people on earth are equally respected.
<BR><BR>We welcome and acknowledge the reports of the IPCC and IPBES, which
shape our knowledge of the crisis. On the other hand, it forces us to wonder why
this issue has been continually ignored by politicians who have failed to act on
what we desperately need to do to mitigate the crisis. There is no choice but to
act. Now. <BR><BR>This is why we put our lives on hold for the climate strikes.
Our strikes are as necessary as the air we breathe - this is why we are willing
to sacrifice precious days of school. We must do all that we can to rebuild our
world for the benefit of generations now, and those to come. <BR><BR>We demand
urgent and effective climate action and condemn any diversions from the path to
climate justice. It is now time for young people to mobilize alongside the
voices of indigenous peoples, women, marginalised groups and others whose voices
are also not being heard. If not us, then who? If not now, then when? Our window
of time to act is now closing and we will no longer allow our voices to be
systematically ignored. It is fundamental that we are involved in deciding on
the future of life as we know it. <BR><BR>Our fellow youth have been marching,
striking, and raising awareness across the globe, as we did outside the
conference venue yesterday, with the goal of ensuring intergenerational equity
in the form of safety for us, our children and our future. Because all
generations have an equal right to biodiversity, clean air, fresh water and safe
and healthy environment, this is more than an environmental issue, it is an
issue of justice. <BR><BR>We have the solutions: participation of the voices who
are left with the burden of climate change, voices with infinite passion and
drive, as well as voices with the numbers to push forward serious change. We
might still have some time, but the clock is ticking. We will dedicate ourselves
to the fight for climate justice and intergenerational equity. As long as there
is hope, there is a chance, and hope dies last.</DIV>
<DIV>-----</DIV>
<DIV><B>People before profits. Our livelihoods depend on it.
</B><BR><BR>Intergenerational equity is reflected within the preamble of the
Paris Agreement, and as such, young people are allowed to participate within the
UNFCCC negotiating space. But this participation and acknowledgement has and
will continue to be silenced if the presence of big polluting businesses
continues within the UN climate negotiating space. <BR><BR>The dominant presence
of those most responsible for the climate crisis not only results in the
suppression of the voices of youth, but also those of indigenous peoples, women,
and other marginalised groups. To protect these groups and the integrity of the
negotiations, young people believe that we desperately need a Conflicts of
Interest policy. <BR><BR>The well-financed, well-organised, and deliberate
attempts by these big polluters to interfere in the policy making processes are
very prominent here at SB50 and in the UNFCCC. So much so, that it has created a
space where the irrationality of having those who profit from the climate
crisis, here at the UNFCCC, is no longer coming into question.<BR><BR>So far in
the Arrangement of Intergovernmental Meetings (AIM negotiations), where this
issue could be discussed, we’ve seen non-party stakeholder contributions being
pushed to later sessions and witnessed the calls for a policy on conflicts of
interest by Climate Justice Now, the Women & Gender constituency, the
Indigenous Peoples Organisation and YOUNGO being met with complete disregard by
parties. <BR><BR>It has never been more necessary for young people to stand up
for ourselves, in solidarity with others, to demand that the protection of our
earth be taken seriously. We have no vested interests here and most of us are
losing money by being here. Our mandate is clear, and our aims are untainted. We
will keep working until we create a space for genuine, ambitious climate policy
that protects people, not polluters. <BR></DIV>
<DIV>------</DIV><B>A Future Empowered? What ACE Needs from
SB50</B><BR><BR>Education, training, public awareness, public access to
information, public participation, and international cooperation - collectively
the six elements of Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE) - form a crucial pillar
for successful implementation of the Paris Agreement. ACE is vital for young
people, who not only fought on behalf of Article 12, but also have a great need
for empowerment in order to tackle the challenges of climate change. <BR><BR>The
ACE negotiations at SB50 centre around the preparation of the Terms of Reference
for the final review of the Doha Work Program (DWP) on Article 6 of the
Convention, which will conclude its mandate and be evaluated in 2020 at SB52.
Looming beyond this review is the question of what the framework will be for ACE
action following the DWP. <BR><BR>Parties so far lack consensus on the scope of
the final review of the DWP to consider possibilities for this post-2020
framework. It is a cause of significant concern for many, including young
people, that some Parties seem reluctant to address this topic. This reluctance
takes place under the guise of not wanting to prejudge future decisions under
the process. Yet, there is no question that we must have a new ACE framework to
succeed the DWP, and this should constitute a framework that is even more
robust. <BR><BR>Therefore, Parties would do well to include a forward-looking
perspective into the final review of Doha itself, rather than delaying this to a
subsequent consideration for the sake of taking just one painstakingly small
procedural step at a time. <BR><BR>Young people are demanding urgent action on
climate change. In the context of ACE, this means making the most of the Doha
review in order to quickly advance toward a new and enhanced ACE framework. By
showing reluctance in this effort, Parties send a discouraging signal; whereas a
strong, future-oriented outcome on ACE from SB50 will demonstrate that the cries
of the youth are not only heard, but inspiring ambitious action.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><B> Climate Action: Recommended by Your Future
Doctors</B><BR><BR>Each year, according to the WHO, air pollution results in 7
million premature deaths. Burning fossil fuels is one of the main sources of air
pollution and poses an existential threat to our health. This is only one aspect
of the many ways that climate change negatively impacts human health. Climate
change also contributes to increased heat strokes and deaths due to extreme
weather events. These effects put the viability of all of our health systems at
greater risk every day. We must not forget that the ultimate objective of this
convention is to protect people and the planet against the adverse effects of
climate change on health and welfare.<BR><BR>As future medical professionals, we
diagnose climate change as a medical emergency, and it must be treated that way.
When someone arrives in the emergency room suffering from a life-threatening
condition, you expect healthcare workers to act. Fortunately, there is a
treatment available for this medical emergency: strong climate action. This
includes, but is not limited to, phasing-out fossil fuels and the use of
sustainable infrastructure strategies.<BR><BR>Addressing the root causes of
climate change comes with substantial health benefits. These benefits are so
significant that for some policies, they can entirely offset the costs of
adaptation and mitigation. Such is the case for smart urban planning and
transport schemes.<BR><BR>Nevertheless, we see a disappointing lack of progress
in the most important modalities currently being negotiated. As future medical
professionals, every day we will be trusted to work according to science and
evidence-based guidelines. Choosing not to acknowledge the latest science
violates our professions’ ethos and should violate yours as well. <BR><BR>The
outcomes of these negotiations will impact core determinants of health – clean
air, safe water, and shelter. We, therefore, urge all parties to work with the
latest science, welcome the IPCC 1.5° report, and implement all necessary
measures to stay below 1.5 degrees. <BR>------</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><B>Care About our Heritage? Fund the WIM.</B></DIV><BR>Diversity
makes the United Nations great. This diversity represents people from across the
globe fighting together for something better, but this beautiful diversity is
under threat from climate change. Each day, crucial parts of our culture are
being washed away by storms and rising seas, as people are displaced from their
homes. <BR><BR>As young campaigners, sitting in the mandated review of the
Warsaw International Mechanism (WIM) on Loss and Damage (L&D) has left us
scared. Lack of action on this issue will categorically destroy the core of that
diverse cultural heritage. <BR><BR>We need delegations to start taking Loss and
Damage seriously. We urgently need finance for countries to rebuild after
disaster(s) and displacement. Undermining real efforts to evaluate and progress
on the WIM in these sessions supports the escalating climate crisis, and
perpetuates cycles of under-development, inequity and poverty. Young
people in climate-vulnerable nations are the least responsible, but face a
lifetime of consequences for the carbon-intensive lifestyles that adults in the
Global North continue to lead. We must break this cycle. States must correct
this profound injustice. <BR><BR>SB50 must be the start of a new era where
nations in the Global North and big polluters recognize their historical
responsibility, and protect the most vulnerable and
marginalized.<BR> <BR>We also need this space to acknowledge the intangible
cultural heritage at stake. The joy, sadness, and bonding that happens in your
home, on your street, or in your school represent an intangible heritage, a
heritage everyone has a right to. Without increased ambition, our generation
will experience this loss on an unimaginable scale. The preoccupation with
economic L&D, while vital, allows developed countries to obscure the
unquantifiable severity of developing nations’ losses. Promoting solutions like
insurance, which keep wealth concentrated in the Global North, could never mend
what is broken. How do you insure an identity?<BR> <BR>We need justice in
the form of reparations, a Loss and Damages Fund and a serious exploration of
non-economic losses. We will not stand for rich nations delaying, ignoring and
obscuring the reality any longer. <BR><BR>We are the global generation and we
stand together. We learn, share, campaign, teach, win and lose together. Here,
as you people, on the streets, as youth strikers, and every single time we stand
up and demand better. We do so together. It is time that national leaders take a
leaf out of our book: Lead with love and justice, over greed and
denial.<BR>------</DIV>

So ‘Common’ Common Time Frames</B></DIV><BR>If you are looking for common
tabular formats (CTF) in this article, you are reading the wrong piece. This CTF
refers to the common time frames for the implementation of the nationally
determined contributions (NDCs). We knows that when it comes to common time
frames, most people think it is common sense to have a five-year time frame.
Why? Well, the NDCs are communicated every five years and the global stocktake
takes place every five years. Nevertheless, the negotiations on common time
frames (and other areas) don’t always follow common sense.<BR><BR>We have
followed the two negotiations on CTF at the Bonn session and, just as at COP24
in Katowice, not much progress has been made. At COP 24, Parties agreed that
common time frames will apply to NDCs to be implemented from 2031 onward.
However, it doesn’t really address when the NDC shall be communicated. 2025 or
2030? Well, the general consensus in the room is that NDCs communicated in 2025
should be implemented from 2031 onwards.<BR><BR>The other crucial question on
CTF’s is, when will Parties finally make a decision on this important item? Some
Parties have floated the idea of finalizing this important item by 2023, which
is as late as you can get. We believe that Parties need to leave Bonn with a
deadline, as to achieve consensus on the CTF as soon as possible. Just like
vacations, some Parties like to plan their NDC a bit early, so anything beyond
2020 is far too late. The final decision text should also explicitly mention
that the implementation period shall begin five years after the NDCs have been
communicated.<BR><BR>Lastly, we want to remind you why a 5-year NDC
implementation period is preferred:<BR></DIV>

<LI>It avoids locking in low levels of ambition. Assuming Parties choose to
adopt 10 year NDC implementation periods, and given that the next round of
NDCs will be tabled ahead of 2025, there is a risk of locking in low ambition
for 15 years between 2025 and 2040.
<LI>It harnesses rapidly evolving real-world opportunities by allowing the
Paris climate regime to better take into account the technological, political,
and economic progress.
<LI>It incentivizes early action by avoiding delayed action on climate
mitigation. Governments can always align their 5-year commitments with 10-year
aspirational targets.
<LI>It aligns better with the broader Paris climate regime since NDCs will be
communicated every 5 years and the global stocktake takes place every 5 years.
<LI>It maintains political accountability, since most election cycles are 4-6
years and fulfilling commitments made for periods well into the future will
become someone else’s political liability. Having a 5-year implementation
period will increase the sense of responsibility, urgency and accountability
of incumbents.</LI></OL></DIV>

Justice Means Migrant Justice </B></DIV><BR>By 2050, over 1 billion people
will be forcibly displaced from their homes, according to the Institute of
Environment and Human Security of the United Nations University. Climate change
is, and will continue to destroy infrastructure, forcing millions from their
towns and cities. Yet no one is talking about climate migration. My generation
will be forced to migrate on an unseen scale, yet the generation who caused the
crisis fail to put protections in place to ensure our human rights and
livelihoods.<BR><BR>This is terrifying for those living in developing countries
and small island developing states. The reality is that they will be hit the
hardest, but it is precisely those most affected who lack the resources of rich
nations to quickly respond and adapt. <BR><BR>When presented with ecosystem
change, species have three potential options: they adapt, they move, or they
die. Recognizing this, protecting climate migrants is of the utmost importance
because when your home is gone, where do you go? For us, the answer is simple:
countries with more space and resources must provide asylum and social
integration. These are the same countries who have created the climate crisis,
they have a historical debt to pay. But, this is a complex problem. Fascism is
rising across developed nations.<BR><BR>In Latin America we are seeing waves of
migration due to the ongoing conflict in Venezuela. In this case, there were no
plans to address this issue and as a result, many governments closed their
borders and installed migration policies that limit access for those needing
asylum. <BR><BR>In the case of war, it is relatively easy to examine the
historical context and identify which countries owe a debt and therefore should
have a strong inclusive migration policy. When it comes to climate displacement
policies, this is even easier. We know exactly which countries are the big
polluters. <BR><BR>We must act now. Our generation is facing losses of an
unimaginable scale. Our governments need to pursue and implement comprehensive
and inclusive policies for those displaced by climate. If we keep ignoring their
voices and blocking the issue in this space, we will see more conflict, loss of
life and rise in anti-migrant rhetoric. We must urgently address the issue by
adopting concrete policies, accessible structural bodies and mechanisms so that
climate migrants can be protected. In other words, we need climate justice
because climate justice means migrant justice. As it stands right now, those at
risk will have nowhere to go and no one to protect them. </DIV>
