Summary:
The Climate Justice Now! campaign, which pledges to recapture the discourse on climate change and contribute to forging a truly pro-people and pro-environment approach to meeting the challenge of global warming.

Extended content:

This campaign was born at Bali where thousands of people gather to make a call to make climate change negotiations just and right based.

CJN’s campaign supports the following propositions:

• reduced consumption of the North and global elite
• substantial financial transfers from North to South--based on the principles of historical responsibility and ecological debt--for adaptation and mitigation; such funds would come from money derived from cutting military budgets, innovative taxes, and debt cancellation;
• a strategy of keeping fossil fuels in the ground and investing in and developing appropriate technology, energy-efficiency, and safe, clean, and community-led renewable energy, even if this means discarding obsolete and unjust pro-corporate patent regimes.
  
• rights-based resource conservation that enforces indigenous land rights and promotes people’s sovereignty over energy, forests, and water; and
• sustainable family farming and people’s food sovereignty.
