On the occasion of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change<\/strong><\/a> held in Paris, activists of the Green Forum<\/strong><\/a>, the national network of environmental NGOs, held a protest action today, before the constitutive session of the Croatian Parliament<\/strong><\/a> asking new MPs to provide concrete measures for achieving low- carbon development<\/strong>. Activists have argued that new parliamentarians, as well as the future government<\/strong><\/a>, require the topic of climate change to be on top of the list of priority issues.<\/p>\n

Representatives have shared an appeal explaining how the transfer to renewable energy for the next few years at all levels will be key to combating climate change<\/strong>. The Croatian Parliament has a great responsibility<\/strong> because they are the last one that can still do something to promote sustainable development in Croatia and ensure our appropriate action to prevent climate chaos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“In the case of projects such as drilling of the Adriatic for oil and the construction of a coal-fired power plant Plomin C<\/strong>, Croatia would have gone in a defeated direction<\/strong> of its energy policy for the next few decades and would significantly increase its contribution to climate change. Following the recent public discussion of the Low-carbon Strategy<\/a><\/strong>, this document will come before parliamentarians who, in contrast to the idea of low-carbon development, in all scenarios include the construction of a new coal-fired power plant<\/strong>. This will be one of the first tests for this session, where it is necessary that such a strategy be rejected by the members of the Strategy<\/strong>, “said Toni Vidan, head of the Green Action<\/strong><\/a> Energy Program.<\/p>\n

The Paris agreement should be even more ambitious than the previously adopted goal of world governments to ensure that global temperatures rise is below 2 \u00b0 C<\/strong>, which is the limit for which scientists say if we want to avoid catastrophic consequences for humans and ecosystems.<\/strong> If we want to achieve this goal, 80% of the well-known fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) must remain unused and as a global society, we must get out of the “fossil era”<\/strong> by the middle of the century. We need an urgent transformation of the energy system, but also the localization of production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
