WHAT SUCCESS IN PARIS LOOKS LIKE

The critical registers for success of the upcoming Climate Change Conference in Paris have now been articulated.  If these outcomes are achieved, we as a global citizenry will have a viable shot at resolving the situation.  

This is key, both in the matter of the focus it can potentially bring to the conference itself, and for the opportunity this brings to the ordinary citizen to influence the success of the conference, both prior and during.

These outcomes are:
1.  An all-country commitment to full de-carbonization by 2050
2.  A global alignment on mobilizing carbon pricing as the means to full de-carbonization

3.  The establishment of a network of civil society partners accountable for ensuring that the commitments are realized 

This is extraordinary in the opportunity it opens up for direct citizen engagement in this process and in our future.  

Our job now is to reach the citizenry of the world, to let them know what success in Paris looks like, and to offer everyone everywhere the opportunity for their voices to be heard and to have their voices count.
