PURPOSE
The purpose of the Climate Rescue Accord is to initiate the required action to stop global heating, maximise survival, minimise suffering, and set a course to restore a safe climate so people, animals, ecosystems can flourish.
​
The Accord is also a platform to leverage required action from state, federal and international governments; a vision for which minor parties and independents can unite. 

GOALS
Hold global average temperature rise to the minimum possible, ensuring 2°C is not breached and temperatures return below 0.5°C.

Set a course to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations to preindustrial (safe) levels, based on credible scientific evidence.

To achieve these goals, we must as a minimum:

• facilitate urgent R&D in the area of immediate cooling strategies 
• stop fossil fuel expansion
• stop deforestation and land use change that releases CO2 and reduce sequestration potential  
• stop human induced sources of methane release
• develop evidence-based roadmap to near zero across all sectors for emergency implementation (energy, transport, consumption and manufacturing, agriculture, land use, construction).

*Policy working groups will address elements of the 3Rs. Specific workshop topics are yet to be announced.

The Climate Rescue Accord Working Group acknowledges the traditional owners across Australia, and pays respect to elders past and present.

Sovereignty was never ceded.

The 3Rs are the only pathway to survival and a safe climate.
