People’s Petition – sign up at http://occupyrioplus20.net/

We, members of the Occupy movement and civil society, highlight the
critical window of opportunity at the Earth Summit to vastly scale up
political, financial & public response to the environmental, social &
economic crisis of our time, & to raise ambition to the level that science
demands. We are exceeding 3 of 9 planetary boundaries (climate change;
biodiversity loss; changes to the nitrogen cycle) and our economy has
outgrown the ecosystems we depend on. We denounce debt-created money and
demand urgent regulation for a steady-state economy. We vow to respect and
protect the beauty and diversity of life on Earth, realising our
interconnectedness with nature. Governments, corporations and financial
institutions must wake up and dramatically prioritise people & the planet
over abusive exploitation for short-term profit & “growth”.

In defence of our rights, freedoms & future, we call for:

1. A direct participatory democratic UN: inclusive rights-based global
decision-making; open-source communications. Prioritise youth, women,
marginalised voices & civil society formally in negotiations.

2. Ending corporate capture* of the UN: end compromising partnerships &
transfer of officials. Exclude business lobbyists from talks. Expose &
prohibit the bullying & bribing✝ of poor nations by rich nations.

3. Realisation of new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by increased
cooperation, commitment, funding & resources, strengthening the Millennium
Goals (MDGs) & cancelling unjust poor country debt.

4. Peace & demilitarization, democratising the UN Security Council, a
binding global arms treaty, SDG on peace & conflict, nuclear disarmament by
2030 & transfer funds to local sustainable development.

5. A Financial Transaction Tax, abolition of tax havens & a Global Carbon
Fee on extraction of fuels, to transparently & equitably fund life-saving
adaptation solutions, prioritising resilience & climate justice.

6. Ending fossil fuel subsidies now & extraction by 2020. Invest in
non-nuclear Renewable Energy for All: global
wind/solar/small-hydro/geo-energy; efficient stoves; zero carbon global
electricity by 2030.

7. Outlawing Ecocide as the 5th International Crime Against Peace:
prosecute destruction of ecosystems e.g. tar sands, oil spills, mountaintop
removal, fracking. Protect the commons & Rights of Mother Earth.

8. Zero deforestation of Amazon rainforest by 2015 & globally by 2020‡.
Rejection of pricing & trading nature, including forests, water & the
atmosphere; and rejection of offsetting damage/destruction.

9. Food & water sovereignty & security. Ban land grabs. Protect Indigenous
peoples’ land rights. Switch support for biofuels & industrial, chemical &
GM agriculture to small organic farming & permaculture.

10. Indicators beyond GDP: measure wellbeing, participation, environmental
health, socio-economic equity, gender equality, employment, provision for
needs/services, protection of rights, & peace.

–

This is what democracy looks like. This is Harmony with Nature. This is the
Future We Need for a just, resilient, thriving world. Join Global Days of
Action on June 5th & 20th to raise our voice to challenge & bring hope to
Rio+20.
