The commitment to pursue efforts to limit global warming to 1.5\u02daC was an important new goal, especially for vulnerable countries and communities who are already bearing the brunt of these ever-growing impacts of the climate crisis. But with this necessary ambition comes responsibility and challenge.<\/div>\n<div>Analysis has now shown that the carbon embedded in existing fossil fuel production, if allowed to run its course, would take us beyond the globally agreed goals of limiting warming to well below 2\u02daC and pursuing efforts to limit to 1.5\u02daC.<a href=\"http:\/\/priceofoil.org\/2016\/09\/22\/the-skys-limit-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/priceofoil.org\/2016\/09\/22\/the-skys-limit-report\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1479291732402000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEaxjzPUFvwSIoIvhsEIjWoRowJdg\">2<\/a><\/div>\n<div>The global carbon budgets associated with either temperature limit will be exhausted with current fossil fuel projects, and in fact some currently-operating fossil fuel projects will need to be retired early in order to have appropriately high chances of staying below even the 2\u02daC limit, let alone 1.5\u02daC.<\/div>\n<div>With this new understanding, the challenge has never been clearer. To live up to the goals set forth by the Paris Agreement and to safeguard our climate for this and future generations, fossil fuel production must enter a managed decline immediately, and renewable energy must be advanced to swiftly take its place in the context of a just transition.<\/div>\n<div><strong>Therefore, we, as over 400 civil society organizations from more than 60 countries, representing tens of millions around the world, call on world leaders to put an immediate halt to new fossil fuel development and pursue a just transition to renewable energy with a managed decline of the fossil fuel industry.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>We can do this. With a managed decline to wind down fossil fuel production that ensures a smooth and just transition to a safer energy economy, we can protect workers, protect communities, bring energy access to the poor, and ramp up renewable energy as quickly as we put an end to fossil fuels.<\/div>\n<div>Since rich countries have a greater historic responsibility to act, they should provide support to poorer countries to help expand non-carbon energy and drive economic development as part of their fair share of global action, with a focus on meeting the urgent priority of providing universal access to energy. The good news is that renewable energy can \u2014 as it must \u2014 fill in the gap and power a clean energy future.<\/div>\n<div>The world can either start now in pursuing a managed decline of the fossil fuel industry and a just transition to renewable energy, or it can delay action and bring about economic upheaval and climate chaos. The choice is clear.<\/div>\n<div>The first step in this effort is a simple one: Stop digging. No additional fossil fuel development, no exploration for new fossil fuels, no expansion of fossil fuel projects. We need to keep fossil fuels in the ground.<\/div>\n<div>Signed,<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- www.deltanewsroom.com --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2163942495525027\" data-ad-slot=\"1411897411\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"m_7800076729002869867wpb_column m_7800076729002869867vc_column_container m_7800076729002869867vc_col-sm-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"m_7800076729002869867vc_row m_7800076729002869867vc_row-fluid m_7800076729002869867vc_column-gap-5 m_7800076729002869867vc_row-o-equal-height m_7800076729002869867vc_row-o-content-top m_7800076729002869867wpb_row m_7800076729002869867vc_row-flex m_7800076729002869867vc_custom_1479085314301\">\n<div class=\"m_7800076729002869867wpb_column m_7800076729002869867vc_column_container m_7800076729002869867vc_col-sm-4\">\n<div class=\"m_7800076729002869867vc_custom_1479081517628 m_7800076729002869867vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"m_7800076729002869867wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"m_7800076729002869867wpb_text_column m_7800076729002869867wpb_content_element m_7800076729002869867vc_custom_1479084739119\">\n<div class=\"m_7800076729002869867wpb_wrapper\">\n<div>Individuals<br \/>\nDarren Aronofsky, director<br \/>\nNnimmo Bassey, Health of Mother Earth Foundation<br \/>\nNaomi Klein, author\/activist<br \/>\nBill McKibben, author\/activist<br \/>\nEd Norton, actor\/activist<br \/>\nMark Ruffalo, actor\/activist<br \/>\nSusan Sarandon, actor\/activist<br \/>\nYeb Sano, Greenpeace SEA<br \/>\nShailene Woodley, actor\/activist<\/div>\n<div>International<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/350.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/350.org&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1479291732402000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEg1NBIEfXV1V1HMz2lFTjSQ3-45Q\">350.org<\/a><br \/>\nACT Alliance<br \/>\nAsia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development (APWLD)<br \/>\nChange Partnership<br \/>\nChristian Aid<br \/>\nClimate Action Network (CAN) \u2013 Europe<br \/>\nCliMates<br \/>\nCoop\u00e9ration Internationale pour le D\u00e9veloppement et la Solidarit\u00e9 (CIDSE)<br \/>\nFood &amp;
