(1/3) > >>

RobertAgira:
On the 29th December 2018 a group of nations from the Alucard agreed to abide by these targets and initiatives. The treaty was then opened up for the rest of Mundus to join them in their goals.


--- Quote from: ETW ---
Recognizing that Mundus is currently dependent on non-renewable resources

Understanding that a time will come in the future when these resources are depleted

Convinced that climate change is a man-made phenomenon

Concerned that levels of pollution of all kinds are raising

The signatory nations of this agreement agree to do all that is within their powers to fulfil the following aims.

1. Limit global temperature increases to within 2.0C (3.6F) of those recorded during the 19th Century.

2. Limit the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human activity to the same levels that trees, soil and oceans can absorb naturally by 2070.

3. Remove 75% of plastic packaging by 2025.

4. Remove all fossil fuelled road vehicles by 2030

5. Reduce pollution caused by air travel by 35% by 2030.

6. Create 3million square km of new forests by 2040.

7. Remove at least 40% of plastic from the oceans by 2040.

8. Nations with a GDP per capita of $40,000 or more to produce at least 70% of their electricity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2050. Nations with a GDP per capita lower than $40,000 to aim for 50% by 2060.

9. Reduce pollution caused by public transport to zero by 2040.

10. The amount of green spaces within urban areas to increase 10% by 2030.
