Letters to the Future

Letters to the Future In 2015, LTTF encouraged writers to write letters to their children’s children about climate change. In 2016, LTTF looks back at Paris one year later.

In 2015, we posed the question: "Would you consider writing 400 words for a national project on climate change? Letters to the Future, the inaugural project of the Paris Climate Project, is a confederation of alternative weeklies coming together around the Paris climate change conference in December. Previous projects have literally connected with millions of readers." Letters to the Future was a

resounding success and selected letters were published in 40 alternative weeklies and other media across the country, garnering four million print readers and 11 million unique visitors online. The Project sent letters to hundreds of targeted delegates and citizens before they convened in Paris. In 2016, a follow-up article/call to action has been published in alternative newspapers across the country. Kyoto project archive: http://www.altweeklies.com/aan/Wire?tag=212032"

The latest IPCC report is out. It’s not good.

The IPCC approved and accepted Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate at its 51st Session held on 20 – 23 September 2019. The approved Summary for Policymakers (SPM) was presented at a press conference on 25 September 2019.

“First, we’re still moving in the wrong direction. Global carbon emissions aren’t falling fast enough. In fact, they aren’t falling at all; they were up 1.7 percent in 2018.

“Second, we’re still pushing in the wrong direction. Globally, subsidies to fossil fuels were up 11 percent between 2016 and 2017, reaching $300 billion a year.

“And third, the effort to clean up is flagging. Total investment in renewable energy (not including hydropower) was $288.9 billion in 2018 — less than fossil fuel subsidies and an 11 percent decrease from 2017.

“This is all bad news. The public seems to have the impression that while things are bad, they are finally accelerating toward something better. It’s not true. Collectively, we haven’t even succeeded in reversing direction yet. Despite all the progress described below, we’re still struggling to get ahold of the emergency brake.”

Despite all the progress, we’re still struggling to hit the climate emergency brake.
