2°C Challenge Communiqué
The 2°C Challenge Communiqué is awaiting signatures prior to the UN climate conference in Durban. This is the fifth of such statements, which is being signed by business leaders in a bid for governments to break the deadlock in international negotiations and take necessary action at a national level to ensure a successful transition to green growth and a climate resilient economy.
The name comes from the previous goal set at Cancún to stabilise global warming at less than 2°, a target that will not be met unless further rigorous changes occur.
The Communiqué states its challenge: ‘All governments must adopt the national policies and measures that drive action, without delay. Such policies need to be ambitious, transparent, measurable, and compatible with a future global framework.’
The action necessary is structured in seven areas:
- International collaboration
- Effective market mechanisms
- Financing the transition
- ncentivising innovation
- Encouraging efficiency
- Urgent forest conservation
- Integrating adaptation and risk reduction
