Thank-you note for our contribution to this initiative
“1 millón de compromisos por el clima”
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the
Environment and Fundación Ecología y De-
sarrollo (Ecodes) sent a thank-you note to
the FCC Group for having contributed to
the historical agreement at the Paris Clima-
te Summit, whose aim was to prevent that
the temperature in the world increases by
more than two degrees by the end of the
century.
Thank-you note:
THANKS!
The Paris Climate Summit reached a historical agreement. It was not what many
wanted, but it was much more than everyone was expecting. The agreement,
as expressed by Ban Ki-Moon, paves the way to a low-carbon economy. All of
the countries in the world will work towards the same goal: prevent temperatu-
res from increasing more than 2 degrees and aiming for this increase to be no
more than 1.5 degrees.
Many people were behind the agreement, clearly all the delegations who at-
tended the summit. But also, in Paris, the absence of those who were not at
the summit was felt strongly: entities and people who, thanks to their actions,
have been behind the global #For the Climate movement. We include you in this
group. Many, many thanks for having contributed as part of your responsibility
to have made this agreement possible. Without your mobilisation, without the
actions of thousands of entities and millions of people from around the world
who are committed to the climate prior to the Paris Summit, the agreement that
governments would have designed would have certainly been more lukewarm.
We gave a book with the names of the individuals and entities who have ex-
pressed their commitment to the ONE MILLION COMMITMENTS FOR THE
CLIMATE to the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Conven-
tion on Climate Change, Christiana Figueres, who thanked us very warmly and
enthusiastically. We convey to you her appreciation. Your entity has contribu-
ting to lightening up a new epoch, that of the low-carbon economy. Thank you
very much.
Now all countries, organizations and individuals must take coherent actions in
line with the global objective of the agreement: ensure that the temperature of
the planet does not increase by more than 1.5 degrees. Let us continue then to
take actions #For the Climate.
Best regards,
The #For the climate team
