We, citizens of #Europe, who have become aware of the climate danger at the heart of the sixth extinction that is under way, call on the @EUCommission to set up a #climate assembly leading to a citizens’ #carbon #quota mechanism in each country that will encourage businesses to decarbonise through consumer demand.
The mechanism should cover all purchases of goods and services. It starts symbolically with a critical means of transport, air transport. The Air Quotas information campaign makes it possible to understand the trade mechanism between carbon deficits and surpluses based on a fair distribution that decreases from year to year in line with the #ParisAgreement and the #EuropeanUnion's announcement of a 55% reduction.
The three phases of the climate assembly are a survey, formulation by #citizens selected by lot, together with experts and elected representatives, and finally national referendums for implementation in each country. The initial focus on air transport, leading to a media campaign, could be used as a launchpad (for a short period, however, since it accounts for only 5% of Europe’s carbon footprint).
