The science is clear.
We must create climate action now!
Our Mission.
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, 2019 and 2021 warnings to the World.
Recent Warnings have highlighted a greater need for bold leadership in all levels, throughout all sectors of society, industry and politics. And Scientists Warning Europe support and encourage leadership in any capacity.
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.
Support our work.
Your support and contributions will enable us to continue to drive science-endorsed action on the Climate Crisis.
The six key stressors.
Six interrelated steps have been identified by the World’s Scientists.
These are areas that we are campaigning governments and policy makers to act upon.
Below are extracts from the Scientists Warning to Humanity papers.
Food.
“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.”
Pollution.
“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.”
Population.
“The world population must be stabilised—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.”
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 prioritising basic needs and reducing inequality.”
Energy.
“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.”
Nature.
“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.”
