SEGOLENE ROYAL CHIEF OF COP21 FRENCH DELEGATION BELIEVES IN CIVIC DEMOCRACY

USPA NEWS - Segolene Royal Head of the French Delegation &Minister for Ecology, Sustainable Development has introduced on Action Day of COP21, December 5. The action day is materialised by the delivery of the memorandum draft report of 48 pages that was submitted negotiators to Laurent Fabius COP21's President.

“Ladies and gentlemen, It is my duty to explain, as simply as possible why act and how to act. This day is a crucial moment in the progress of the COP 21, and I do not forget that beyond this room we also are addressing the millions of citizens of the planet, including through the internet, who want to understand what we do want to participate and especially the climate challenge.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I believe that civic democracy, environmental democracy, lead us to bring within the reach of all the knowledge to act. Because knowledge is power, and the meaning of this day of action, the direction of this year of action, the direction of this week, it's really cause all forces in all territories and in all countries.--------------------------------------------------------------------- This requires understanding, and the movie we have seen already says a lot. I just want to quickly specify and tell everyone why act and how to act." Slogan Royal said.

First the simple thing that everyone knows today but must reiterate is that we live as if we had three planets. We must therefore stop three bad behaviour, and I will take for each of them an example:------------------------------------------------------- First, we need to stop emitting the carbon dioxide that comes from fossil fuels. An example: the sea rising three times faster that a century ago. We heard during these days, this year, the alarm call of island states. Then, stop overfishing, accelerated degradation, biodiversity. Two examples: 90% of the fish resource vanished as she sustains hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The forest disappears from 55,000 km² every 4 years. Third, stop pollution. An example, we have on the planet the plastic in five continents under the sea. For single use plastic bag used a few minutes, we see the destruction of ecosystems that have taken millions of years to form. I think, for example, to the plastic bags which choke marine turtles.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Answering these challenges, stop these three bad behaviours, and can meet these three great humanitarian challenges . What are these three major challenges?“ Slogan Royal said. see also article : IMMINENT PUBLICATION OF DECREE TO BAN PLASTIC BAGS IN FRANCE AT JANUARY 2016 ANNOUNCED SEGOLENE ROYAL - See more at: http://www.uspa24.com/bericht-5253/imminent-publication-of-decree-to-ban-plastic-bags-in-france-at-january-2016.html#sthash.aQnzI2zK.dpuf

CONSEQUENCES OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ First, climate migration. Then sanitary disasters and the spread of diseases, such as malaria and Ebola. And finally the direct climate damage that everyone here knows and everyone suffers.But there is good news. For that is the action day is the good news. Because today is the COP solutions.Solutions that have been worked for a year by over 10,000 people (organisations, associations, companies, territories). “ WHAT IS THE GOOD NEWS ?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “The good news is that we have the solutions. The good news is that these solutions are effective. The good news is that no one is spared and therefore everyone must act. The good news is that we have emerged with contributions from states a universal language that today everyone is talking about the same thing and that nobody denies global warming. The good news is that companies have finally realised that doing nothing will cost much more that to acting. The good news is that everyone understood that green growth creates value, creates economic activity, creates growth. The good news also is that one can achieve the same objectives by respecting the differences between countries, respecting the cultures, respecting the traditionsTHE GOOD NEWS IS THAT ALL ACTIONS ARE WINNING SEGOLENE ROYAL SAID----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every citizen of the world will understand, and has already included for most of them, that every human being has two homelands: his own and the planet and they do not play against each other. Everyone understood that when doing a good deed against his country, reducing global warming, while also done a good work for the planet.------------------------------------- So we gathered, we worked, all the ministers of the world's environment have worked for this year during the Action Week.
