Jakarta, 12 December 2009.
Global Day of Action on Climate Change is part of global campaign during the Conference of Parties (COP) under United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to call on climate justice. Held in Jakarta on December 12th 2009, coalition of environmental organizations such as WALHI, NTI, IESR, KIARA, RACA, KAU, SPI, Oxfam, CSF, and many more conducted an action in front of US Embassy; there were 100 people joined in the action.
Climate impacts have happened everywhere and it will worsen in the future. Yet, until COP 15 in Copenhagen, US as the world largest carbon emission country has low commitment and not ambitious traget to cut emission. US only set target to cut emission by 16% which is far away from That’s the background of the Global Day of Action in US Embassy this year that call the “USA is CARBON MAFIA LEADER of The EARTH DESTRUCTION”.
With only 5% of world population number, US has contributed to carbon emission of 36,1% from 1990 level. Developing countries asked developed countries, especially US, to cut their green house gases emission by 25-40% from 1990 emission level in 2020, preventing world’s temperature to rise by 2◦C; US only set a target only 16 % instead. The low commitment of US will influence other developed country in setting their target emission target and Climate Change Deal in Copenhagen will end up out with poor solution.
This action started with long march from the Indosat Building and ended in front of US Embassy. A theatrical performance showed that US Leader (Mr. Barack Obama) has not enough power to bind on a fair climate change commitment in COP 15 Copenhagen. Then, several activists (WALHI, Oxfam, RACA, KNTI, SPI, etc) spoke in front of other participants, warning US deeply to take their responsibility and sign the Kyoto Protocol. After that activist and other participants build a “climate change refugee camp 2009” in front of US Embassy built 30 tents.
