The 3-Point Plan - what children demand from the governments

If the children were government leaders who had to make decisions at the next climate summit, they would need to have a plan to safeguard their future.  On July 1, 2010, they presented this “3-Point-Plan” at 133 embassies in Berlin - together with a request to the government leaders to disclose what they themselves wanted to do to solve the climate crisis and thereby protect the children’s future. In a speech at the UN General Assembly on February 2, 2011 the  children from Plant-for-the-Planet presented their plan to the United Nations:
 
  1. Plant 1,000 billion trees. As additional carbon reservoirs,1 trillion trees will bind another 10 billion tons CO2 every year. A trillion trees sounds like a lot, but it is possible: starting 1978, the Chinese government  planted more than 60 billion trees as part of the “Great Green Wall”. That is 1.6 million trees per year.
  2. Leave the fossil fuels in the ground. The technology for a CO2-free future has existed for a long time. Mankind must reduce the CO2 emissions to zero by 2050. That means: no more burning coal, oil, or natural gas. Reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. Reduce the use of CO2 intensive materials like cement.
  3. Put poverty in the museum using Climate Justice. In order to limit further warming to the pledged 2 °C, only 420 billion tons more CO2 can be emitted by 2050. 420 divided by 33 years  makes 12.7 billion tons CO2 per year. This must be fairly divided among the world population: everyone receives the same, namely 1.5 tons CO2 per person per year. Whoever wants more  must pay. This principle of climate justice ensures that poverty too is put in a museum.

In Tottenham seven trees were planted in a ring over 400 years ago for reasons lost in time; the Seven Sisters area and the underground station are named after them. The seven trees have been replanted a number of times, always by seven sisters. 

The Tottenham Trees logo, shown on the right, is a silhouette of the Bruce Castle Oak with the logo of the Charter for Trees, Woods and People launched in November 2017, on the 800th anniversary of the Royal Charter of the Forest.
