Global launch today of ‘action/2015’

15-January-2015
Organisations the world over will come together today for ‘action/2015’, one of the biggest campaigns ever to launch – combining environmental, human rights, development organisations and faith networks.

From household names like Amnesty International and Save the Children to grassroots NGOs working with local communities, the movement aims to make sure the agreements of 2015 are shaped by the people.

According to new research, almost a billion extra people face a life of extreme poverty if leaders don’t agree on key decisions on poverty, inequality and climate change due to be taken at two crucial summits in New York and Paris later this year, with billions more continuing to face a life of hardship.

That's the warning by more than a thousand organisations around the world which are launching a new campaign called ‘action/2015’ calling on local and world leaders to take urgent action to halt man-made climate change, eradicate poverty and address inequality.

The new calculation released by the ‘action/2015’ coalition shows that, even using relatively conservative scenarios, the number of people living in extreme poverty – on less than $1.25 a day – could be reduced dramatically from over a billion to 360 million by 2030. Based on work by the University of Denver, in the year 2030, about 4% of the global population would live in extreme poverty, (compared to 17% today) if critical policy choices on inequality, poverty investment and climate change are made this year and implemented thereafter. Estimates of other researchers, looking at a longer list of variables, show that the eradication of extreme poverty is achievable for the first time in history - a key objective of the campaign.

However, if leaders fail to deliver and build on the growing momentum for ambitious deals at the UN Special Summit on Sustainable Development in September and the UN Climate talks in Paris in December, and scale back their efforts, the number of people living in extreme poverty could actually increase to 1.2 billion by 2030. This increase would be the first in a generation (since 1993) and almost a billion higher (886 million) than if resolute action is taken. Under this scenario 1 in 3 of the world’s population would live under $2 a day.

Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Prize winner who put her life on the line for the right to education said: “2015 must be the year the world wakes up and delivers a safer, more just future for children and young people. We all must play our part in ensuring this is the case. Do not let this opportunity go to waste.”

Maryam, a Nigerian child rights activist, who will turn 15 this year, speaking about why she got involved in the campaign, said: “By 2030 I will be an adult, and may have children of my own. My generation might not be the ones making decisions today, but we will be the ones to make sure that our leaders take full responsibility for the actions they take this year. I and thousands like me are demanding they make the right choices, because our future is at stake. We ask that they make choices which are dictated by the needs of future generations and not choices that are dictated by short-term politics.”

‘action/2015’ is calling on the public to join them in their calls to ensure world leaders commit to a better world. Throughout 2015, the campaign will provide ways for everyone everywhere to get involved in influencing the outcomes of these global debates that could achieve:
• An end to poverty in all its forms;
• The meeting of fundamental rights, tackling inequality and discrimination;
• An accelerated transition to 100% renewable energy;
• A world where everyone can participate and hold their leaders accountable.

The Citizens Engagement Platform Seychelles (Ceps) is easing the process for a national ‘action/2015’ in Seychelles, and a variety of activities and events will take place locally to galvanise support for the campaign.

Individuals and organisations are being urged to supporting the ‘action/2015’ campaign during the year.

Comment -A thousand aid groups launch ‘action/2015’

We have been addressing the issues of BRICS, some 27 years ago events surrounding the changes in former COMECON, USSR, Yugoslavia - had President Gorbachev been able to/accepted to formulate an alternative new economic future for his and those countries - including relevant supporting institutions the world would have changed very differently - the scientific aspect of such changes on ecology, environment and vast many other issues. After 27 years we have BRICS in place

We have noted those leading and supposedly elite personalities form the West who have called and supporting the action for Action/2015 - our question where were those people in 1978/9 until 1991/1993 - the majority calling for the changes and greater accountability their respective education, benchmark and approach to life - because you get media attention , publicity does not men you are good - you are good by their standard and values.

We have been writing since 1991, then President Bill Clinton coming to Office, seeking the USA help to address and review that SIROP program - what took place and events. Those in USA who think education/knowledge is only their God given rights. The ability to act in their world. We have been involved in the Live Aid 1 and 2, the issues of Africa debt write off very many other issues - what about our role to help deploy that WWW. All those taking part their very corrupted and dishonest practice. We were brought up to call "a pair of shoe a pair of shoe not a house or whatever" - our ancestors were European/French and the contribute to build that USA, Canada, Quebec and the many International Institutions which make up the world. How we have been using the same mechanism and system our ancestors have been using 1000/500 years ago yet those involve in Action/2015 suddenly they want to teach the world how to talk and think where did they learn it from acquirer such great wisdom.

We have been writing to very many of those of you involved in that Action/2015 for the past 25 years help us support that we migrate and settle on the continent then you will see the many change in the world and Europe - nobody reply and listen- all they know how to manipulate our issues, make massive wealth, build their personality and interested and then garbage the world.

We have written of what really triggered that 9/11 and very many other issues that 2004/5 Earthquake and Tsunami, the death and carnage, the very recent issues of the Charlie Hebdo how is was triggered and events leading to it, why want those of you read and listen. - we did not rave/rage about it we have written and it is out their on the web - none of you are prepared to listen. { We will be blunt those of you who dare in 1982 to 1991 we found the need to set up a Masonic Mobile Lodge this we did - because we did not affiliate to the commonwealth Lodge hence the outcast of our person and those of you who know masonic workings}

There is still time - we contributed to the Facebook Platform, your Google and your Yahoo and very many others - yet those who write the news - if you are that serious and sincere why not support our call by the Paneuropean Union to get EU parliament and Council of Europe for a Review of that SIROP program - what are you all scared of/about.

You have all become no better than the very people and Institutions you criticize and demand accountability. You wait and want other do the dirty work for you then use you highly corrupted media take credit and the lime light.
