BREAKING NEWS!

17  eminent  scientists have issued what is effectively  a THIRD Warning to Humanity, only three years  after a Second warning was issued by 8 scientists supported by over 15,000 more in 184 countries. See here: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcosc.2020.615419/full

Scientists Warning Europe’s mission is to protect the future of our planet, our children, and other creatures that share our World. To do this we will present and promote science endorsed solutions which will lead to a just transition for our World to a sustainable and equitable future. In achieving our mission, we will represent scientists who warn the World about the rapidly increasing dangers of climate change and destruction of the biosphere - specifically those scientists who issued and endorsed the 1992, 2017 and 2019 warnings to the World. Our mission is to bring about a great change in humanity’s stewardship of the Earth in order to prevent irretrievable mutilation of our global home.

Read The Warnings

Six interrelated steps have been identified in the third iteration of Scientists' Warning in areas that governments and policy makers can act upon 

Food

Population

Population

"Eating mostly plant-based foods while reducing the global consumption of animal products, especially ruminant livestock, can improve human health and significantly lower GHG emissions." "Cropping practices such as minimum tillage that increase soil carbon are vitally important. We need to drastically reduce the enormous amount of food waste around the world." From World Scientists Warning of a Climate Emergency 2019

Population

Population

Population

"...the world population must be stabilized—and, ideally, gradually reduced—within a framework that ensures social integrity."

"These policies make family-planning services available to all people, remove barriers to their access and achieve full gender equity, including primary and secondary education as a global norm for all, especially girls and young women."

Energy

Population

Short-Lived Pollutants

"The world must quickly implement massive energy efficiency and conservation practices and must replace fossil fuels with low-carbon renewables and other cleaner sources of energy if safe for people and the environment."

"We must swiftly eliminate subsidies for fossil fuels and use effective and fair policies for steadily escalating carbon prices to restrain their use."

Short-Lived Pollutants

Short-Lived Pollutants

Short-Lived Pollutants

"We need to promptly reduce the emissions of short-lived climate pollutants, including methane (figure 2b), black carbon (soot), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Doing this could slow climate feedback loops and potentially reduce the short-term warming trend by more than 50% over the next few decades".

Sustainable Economy

Short-Lived Pollutants

Sustainable Economy

"Excessive extraction of materials and overexploitation of ecosystems, driven by economic growth, must be quickly curtailed to maintain long-term sustainability of the biosphere."

"Our goals need to shift from GDP growth and the pursuit of affluence toward sustaining ecosystems and improving human well-being by prioritizing basic needs and reducing inequality."

Nature

Short-Lived Pollutants

Sustainable Economy

"We must protect and restore Earth's ecosystems. Phytoplankton, coral reefs, forests, savannas, grasslands, wetlands, peatlands, soils, mangroves, and sea grasses contribute greatly to sequestration of atmospheric CO2. Marine and terrestrial plants, animals, and microorganisms play significant roles in carbon and nutrient cycling and storage."

Alliance of World Scientists

 The AWS is an international assembly of scientists independent of both governmental and non-governmental organizations and corporations, with a main goal to be a collective international voice of many scientists regarding global climate and environmental trends and how to turn accumulated knowledge into action.  Dr. Bill Ripple and Dr. Chris Wolf serve as Director and Associate Director of the AWS respectively and feature as key authors of the Second Warning in 2017 and also the Climate Emergency Warning in 2019.
