A global citizen consultation on climate policy
Sweden
Be brave!
Take far-reaching and binding decisions regarding large emission reductions now!Clarify available choices between the gains and sacrifices!
Dedicate resources for the development of “smart” climate technology!
Establish continuous evaluation mechanisms!
We have borrowed the Earth from our grandchildren!
All climate impacts should carry their own costs!We should stop further losses in biodiversity!
All citizens must be provided with knowledge for taking responsibility!
Provide developing countries with assistance that is “climate-smart”!
Green money talks
Create a global financial system where financial assets are raised through a climate fee on the consumption of fossil fuels. This will then be used to develop new technologies and contribute to the environmental work of the developing countries.For future life conditions!
Establish an international environmental resource fund with an un-biased follow-up, for all countries to reach the same level of sustainability. These funds could be used for transferring knowledge, investing in information, research, or development renewable energy resources.Positive energy equals global sustainable development
All countries should sign the climate deal.Work out realistic targets, with intermediate goals.
Encourage joint investments in new technologies.
Build up a financial system to take global responsibility for a global problem.
Climate Deal COP 15
Start here and now! We can’t afford to wait.Limit the rise in temperature to today’s levels!
Cooperate in a way that shows loyalty to ALL countries!
A joint deal for survival!
Find shared goals that all countries commit to. A global financial organization, elected by all countries, should be responsible for this action.Reduce the use of fossil fuels!
Get all countries to sign a new climate deal and invest in technology that supports renewable energy sources!Solidarity, restrictions and rewards
Establish far-reaching emission reductions for both Annex 1 and non Annex 1 countries.Be loyal to third world countries.
Develop systems for technical support and financing.
Set international restrictions within the transport sector.
Create reward systems for reducing emissions (e.g. facilities for research and education).
Care for the Earth
Have the courage to show action and solidarity through international aid that increases knowledge. This changes attitudes and creates a better environment. An efficient and fair turnover of resources is needed to protect our biodiversity.Now!
It’s urgent!Everyone has to take an active part, now!
Invest in sustainable technology, now!
We will not accept a failure!
Establish a global development fund for technology and climate!

Some questions about the results
Written by: rn
Yesterday, World Wide Views hosted a panel debate about the project and about citizen participation in connection with climate politics in general. Among the participants was our friend, Shauna Sylvester of Canada’s World, who delivered a beautiful presentation. Even though national states seem to be failing in delivering the leadership we need, the alternative of [...]WWViews Australia activities

Since WWViews day, we’ve been busy in Australia disseminating results from the Australian and global event. We launched the WWViews Australia report on 16 November and got some more media coverage. We mailed a summary of the report directly to Federal and State politicians, climate negotiators and other decision-makers.
We’ve had a few really interesting meetings [...]Some questions about the results

The meeting in Boston was a far better example of citizen engagement than the Congressional town hall meeting on health care that I attended this summer. The Worldwide views model of public deliberation is a good one and should be used in a wide variety of issues that concern the global community of nations. [...]
