Peace and Just Climate Transition Now! (Draft)

Come join and build a movement for peace on Earth and peace with the Earth. Now we must come together locally, nationally and internationally for a ceasefire and peace negotiations in all wars, for concrete solutions to climate problems and for a fair distribution of resources.

Militarization all over the world is consuming enormous resources needed to solve the climate crisis and other major problems of our time. To continue to devastate and exploit the natural resources as if they were infinite makes the planet uninhabitable. Life itself is threatened.

We cannot continue to live as if there are numerous globes. Energy use must be greatly reduced both through energy-efficient technology and an energy-efficient lifestyle. We must have a resource-saving society. That requires fundamental change of the economic system and the society–a change for the better for those living in rural and urban areas and those working in agriculture, forestry, industry and service sectors.

War means that people are killed, injured and traumatized. People are forced to flee. Homes, communal buildings and infrastructure are destroyed. The environment is damaged by pollution, mines and bombs. War leads to military rearmament, it creates enemy images and builds fences between people. Instead we need to build peace.

We invite individuals and organizations to come along and create a people's campaign for peace and justice. We need to build bridges to live together and be able to work together to solve the climate problems. We must create a dignified life all on our planet. We must work together to secure the food supply and save on our resources. We want the billions for military rearmament directed instead climate, schools, healthcare and social care.
