The Daily Tck: 2 December 2011
Over recent days civil society and the worlds most vulnerable countries have been emphasising the need for urgency in
the talks. Yesterday negotiators from AOSIS and LDCs proposed a way to get a deal by the end 2012. As
someone close to AOSIS said there is no reason, other than political will why this cant be achieved in one
year.
Susbequently AOSIS ambassadors Williams from Grenada and Moses from Nauru stepped outside the UN bubble to
join with activists and African climate victims in a Survival Rally this afternoon. Over 500 rural South African
women greeted them in solidarity! The African and AOSIS regions are thousands of miles apart but they are both on the
front line of climate change. As AOSIS stated in yesterdays plenary At present, we are set on a pathway to
warming of 3.5C, a pathway which will quite literally wipe a number of the countries for whom I speak today
from the face of the Earth."
We cant point to much progress here in the talks at this point. The Green Climate Fund remains uncertain, discussions
of Long Term Finance have begun but bunker fuel leviesare out of text. EU leadership on the KP remains uncertain and
is on the back burner until Ministers arrive next week. Truly, the most important things happening these days in
Durban are outside the walls of the UN.
Message of the DayAs we come to the halfway mark in these climate talks, the situation is ever more serious. It is urgent. While
governments may want to take time out for the next 10 years, the planet and people cannot. This flies in the face of
every credible scientific, economic and social signs that we are heading in the wrong direction.
The politicians need to get their heads out of the sand. The impacts on Africa are devastating, but no country can escape
the devastating effects of climate change. We can stop it if we act NOW.
What is Happening?
Tomorrow show world governments show world governments our common determination to stop catastrophicclimate change on a non-violent mass march of international and national community, labour, women, youth,
academic, religious and environmental organisations and activists in Durban. People will gather from 09:00 am and the
march is due to start at 10:00. There will be a series of demands handed over to the South African government. 2020 is
too late for a global climate deal it is needed NOW! Contact:http://www.c17.org.za/global-day-of-action
The WAGGS were back in action last night with their side event "African Climate Stories: Voices from the Front Lines
of the Climate Crisis." We will have a post about the event on TckTckTck.org tomorrow, but in the meantime, do join
us in congratulating the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts and their YOUNGO counterparts for
being invited to open the plenary session tomorrow with their flash mob dance from yesterday. Congrats!
This morning Oxfam held a creative activity drawing attention to the lack of funding and support for women who
are the primary food producers across the globe. Around the globe, women are largely responsible for providing foodfor their families and as climate change impacts increase, available food resources and the cost of food will be adversely
impacted.

InIndia, Greenpeace delivered a petition signed by over 2,000 activists from different parts of the countrryportesting coal mining in the proposed forest areas. The Union coal minister Sri Prakash Jaiswal said he will review all
mining proposals and if necessary cancel them if they threaten to harm the environment in animal habitats adding that
"We cannot destroy the environment for mining coal. These activists help us to decide our future course of action.
