It\u2019s time for political revolution.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dear fellow citizens of Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We invite you to do something which governments and supporters of the status quo traditionally fear and hate. We invite you to join a political revolution. With other paths closed and all other options exhausted, we see this as the only way to catapult humankind onto effecting change on the grand scale our planet requires.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all know what led us to where we are. For the last four decades, governments have failed to halt the almost constant rise of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. As a result, the last six years have been the hottest on record.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019 the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unenvironment.org\/news-and-stories\/story\/lost-decade-climate-action-hope-emerges\">UN Environment Programme<\/a>&nbsp;came to the discouraging conclusion that the last ten years have been \u201ca lost decade\u201d. We have done far, far too little \u2013 and as a consequence, the world is heading for 3.5\u00b0C of global warming by the end of the century. This is far beyond the limits of the Paris Agreement. If the signatory nations were to meet the stated goal of limiting warming to 1.5\u00b0C, they would need on average to&nbsp;<em>quintuple<\/em>&nbsp;the climate pledges they made in Paris.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile the global biodiversity crisis continues almost unabated.&nbsp;The scope of mass extinction of wildlife is unprecedented not only in the history of&nbsp;<em>Homo sapiens<\/em>, but in the last 65 million years.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current rates of species extinctions are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/c402277.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/publications\/1187\/files\/original\/LPR2018_Full_Report_Spreads.pdf\">100 to 1,000 times<\/a>&nbsp;higher than the average during the last million years. According to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ipbes.net\/news\/Media-Release-Global-Assessment\">The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services<\/a>,&nbsp;one million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, and the rate of extinction is accelerating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the WWF&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent20.net\/hubfs\/4783129\/LPR\/PDFs\/ENGLISH-FULL.pdf\">Living Planet Report<\/a>&nbsp;(2020) a biological holocaust has already taken place. It shows a 68% average reduction in populations of wild birds, fish, mammals, reptiles and amphibians from 1970 to 2016. In freshwater environments the die-out is 84%. In the tropical areas in Latin America and the Caribbean it is a staggering 94%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the world\u2019s most iconic species such as lions, tigers, rhinoceroses, koalas, cheetahs, elephants, and giraffes have been dramatically decimated \u2013 in some cases, by more than 90 percent. According to a report by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org\/assets\/downloads\/EllenMacArthurFoundation_TheNewPlasticsEconomy_Pages.pdf\">World Economic Forum, Ellen MacArthur Foundation and McKinsey &amp; Company<\/a>&nbsp;(2016),&nbsp;the world\u2019s oceans will contain more plastic than fish in 2050 in a business-as-usual scenario.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the list goes on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How can we stop the ongoing ecocide, and the destruction of the very foundation of all young lives?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the last forty years, national leaders have had innumerable opportunities to initiate the system change needed to bring us back from the brink. For decades, they have received warnings from Nobel Prize winners and tens of thousands of scientists, and hosted myriads of international climate conferences. Green parties all over the world have spent years trying to reform systems from within, and environmentalists of all stripes have made superhuman efforts to avert catastrophe. Thanks to flourishing green student movements and young campaigners like Greta Thunberg, a new generation has joined the struggle on an unprecedented scale, and millions of people around the world have taken to the streets. Meanwhile Extinction Rebellion has revived and re-invented peaceful civil disobedience.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Economic growth remains the Holy Grail.&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But sadly, none of this has worked. In some respects, the train has slowed a little, but in too&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/bioscience\/article\/70\/1\/8\/5610806\">many others<\/a>&nbsp;it has accelerated massively, and is still heading in the same direction: the abyss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concentrations of greenhouse gasses and global temperatures continue to rise.&nbsp;Economic growth remains the Holy Grail. The consumption of energy, materials and meat has expanded in wealthy countries for decades, spreading to wherever middle-class populations grow around the world.&nbsp;And although the growth rate of the world population has declined it is projected to reach nearly 11 billion people in 2100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a recipe for an ecological Armageddon: one that risks killing our children as well as the last wild nature on Earth. Climate breakdown is already taking a great toll in developing countries, although they are least responsible for it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alarmism? Exaggeration?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the former secretary-general of the UN&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/press\/en\/2011\/sgsm13372.doc.htm\">Ban Ki-moon<\/a>&nbsp;(2011), continued economic growth is \u201ca global suicide pact.\u201d According to the present secretary-general of UN&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sg\/en\/content\/sg\/statement\/2018-09-10\/secretary-generals-remarks-climate-change-delivered\">Ant\u00f3nio Guterres<\/a>&nbsp;(2018), the climate crisis presents \u201ca direct existential threat\u201d. According to more than&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/bioscience\/article\/70\/1\/8\/5610806\">11<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/bioscience\/article\/70\/1\/8\/5610806\">000 scientists<\/a>&nbsp;(2020), global warming could potentially make \u201clarge areas of Earth uninhabitable\u201d. And a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-019-03595-0\">leading team of scientists<\/a>&nbsp;in the journal Nature (2019) say that we are in \u201ca state of planetary emergency\u201d which demands urgent action all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This cannot and must not go on. Therefore, we urge you to join us in speeding up environmental action through&nbsp;<em>non-violent&nbsp;<\/em>political revolution. We must force leaders to listen to science, or step down in favor of those who value life on Earth higher than financial profit and re-election.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Political revolution is a grave proposal. But we make it in the face of the gravest predicament ever met by humankind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many scientists believe the Doomsday Clock stands at 100 seconds to twelve. Some think midnight is already behind us. In any case, we don\u2019t have time to continue strategies that do not work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, we encourage Earth-protectors across the planet \u2013 environmentalists, green parties, NGOs, indigenous peoples, grassroots movements, associations, young people and adults, and every human being who cherishes life \u2013 to unite and make revolutionary coalitions or umbrella organizations.&nbsp;<em>Because far more unites us than divides us.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specifically, we must inundate the public sphere with information about the necessity of political revolution. We must lobby unions, NGOs and political parties. We must organize waves of non-violent mass protests, demonstrations and strikes. We must boycott, block and shut down sectors that abuse Earth\u2019s atmosphere and ecosystems. We must initiate general strikes. The point is, as Gandhi said: \u201cEven the most powerful cannot rule without the co-operation of the ruled.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Sometimes revolutions cause anarchy. Ours must not.&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, people must understand their true power and use it to effect a green paradigm shift on our planet, at the speed required, and informed by science.&nbsp;This includes fully decarbonizing society in favor of renewable energy; setting aside half of the Earth\u2019s surface for nature; moving from a growth to a steady-state, circular and socially fair economy; reducing the level of consumption in wealthy countries; making a transition to healthy, sustainable and largely plant-based diets; abolishing industrial animal farming; incorporating the rights of nature in constitutions and laws; stabilizing and gradually reducing the world population through family-planning services, education for all, a strengthening of gender equality and human rights; and the advancement of an ecological worldview and values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes revolutions cause anarchy. Ours must not. To this end, all the actions we carry out and all the and changes we initiate must be planned, organized and managed with care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have learned over past decades that those in power simply ignore environmentalists who follow the rules or who cannot raise the numbers to paralyze society.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hence the necessity of a political revolution that unifies environmentalists and mobilizes citizens around the world&nbsp;<em>en masse<\/em>. This may seem a radical undertaking, but history has shown that mobilizing just&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rationalinsurgent.com\/2013\/11\/04\/my-talk-at-tedxboulder-civil-resistance-and-the-3-5-rule\/\">3.5 percent<\/a>&nbsp;of a population is enough to make a real and lasting impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, governments will condemn any talk of revolution. But they have only themselves to blame for the situation we now face. It is they who have broken the social contract.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We believe political revolution is a last resort when all else has failed. Which it has done so, repeatedly, despite the best efforts of so many. Ultimately, revolution is a rescue operation in which the survival of our children and the wildlife of our planet are at stake. And there is no doubt that those who will be imprisoned for protecting their children will be acquitted by history, and their sacrifice celebrated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Ultimately, revolution is a rescue operation in which the survival of our children and the wildlife of our planet are at stake.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the end, as Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnat point out in&nbsp;<em>The Future We Choose<\/em>&nbsp;(2020), there is only one thing good enough for those inheriting this Earth. And it is not that \u201cwe did the best we could\u201d, but that we did all that was&nbsp;<em>necessary<\/em>. Even if this meant making tough choices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crucially, political revolution should not dismantle democracy. On the contrary, it must restore, reinvigorate and expand it. Today most countries are run by, or are in thrall to, some version of plutocracy. The selfish interests of big business and the doctrine of economic growth govern the world to a far larger extent than do the most fundamental needs of its citizens, and of the natural world that sustains us all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the power of a post-revolutionary world should not only reside with people. In the future, it must also represent Earth\u2019s non-human species, protect their habitats and recognize the rights of nature. The destruction of ecosystems and the inhumane treatment of livestock cannot continue.&nbsp;Alongside greater equality among humans, we must ensure greater equality between humans and the other species. Our goal is not only&nbsp;<em>social<\/em>&nbsp;but also&nbsp;<em>ecological<\/em>&nbsp;justice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new system of government \u2013 an ecological democracy or, in short, an ecocracy \u2013 will ensure the survival and thriving of the huge diversity of life forms on Earth. Not only of humans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, we have a question for all those who reject the notion of a peaceful political revolution. Given the heroic failures of the past, what\u2019s the alternative?&nbsp;What would you do instead that has not already been tried for many years without making the crucial difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time is running out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SIGNATORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charlie J.
