The final 'draft' text - COP 21

The final 'draft' text has been approved by negotiators and handed to environment ministers to be decided in the next week.
Here the draft: http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2015/cop21/eng/da01.pdf 

The draft text has some promising, and some very worrying parts. Here are the biggest issues we see about what's currently on the table: 

1. The date for phasing out fossil fuels keeps being pushed back. Keeping warming to safe levels requires phasing out fossil fuels and moving to 100% renewable energy by 2050, a date which many countries have already agreed is feasible. But the earliest mentioned date in the draft text is "2060-2080," and other proposals calling for a transition 'over the course of the century.' We don't have another lifetime to wait for real action, and we will push for serious reductions in fossil fuel consumption and production on the fastest timeframe possible.
    
2. Indigenous Rights have been removed from the text. Indigenous people are on the front lines of battles to keep fossil fuels in the ground over the globe, and respecting their rights is essential to a just transition to the energy economy we need. Our Indigenous allies are working on the strategy to re-include this section into the text and we will fight with them.
    
3. The path to increasing ambition after Paris is unclear. A critical part of any agreement will be establishing regular meetings to check in on progress of enforcing the deal and increasing the ambition to match with new  developments. The means by which this will happen is still quite uncertain, and understanding that will be essential to whether the deal sends a real signal that the world is getting off fossil fuels. 

With fossil fuel lobbyists, powerful governments and other people at the hands of big polluters pushing for a weak deal -- it's more important than ever that we make our demands clear. The solutions are obvious: we need to keep at least 80% of fossil fuels in the ground, finance a just transition to 100% renewable energy, and make sure communities on the front lines of climate change have the resources they need to respond to the crisis.
