World Summit – Climate and Territories

10 July 2015

The World Summit Climate and Territories which took place in Lyon, Rhone-Alpes’ Region brought together more than one thousand participants from all over the world. As we had hoped, more than half of the participants came from 73 other countries.

As was the objective, around half of the participants came from local and regional authorities; a third represented NGOs, civil society, and business; and the rest was made up of the press, academics, and experts.

This summit produced both a final political declaration and a list of commitments that fit into the "agenda of solutions".

These results were made possible thanks to:

This led to the creation of two very important documents:

These commitments involve reducing CO2 emissions by 1.5 billion tonnes per 850 million inhabitants by 2020. This figure was calculated using 3 different "official" platforms overseen by the networks, with regular data reporting. These three platforms all register their commitments on NAZCA. This represents 15% of the effort that must be made by 2020 to keep global temperature increase to less than 2°C, and represents a firm, quantifiable, and verifiable commitment of 11% of the world’s population.

Beyond this, all the major networks have committed to mobilising their members to keep global warming to 2° by 2050. Through their members, these networks represent more than two-thirds of the global population.

The other main characteristic of this Summit is that it did not occur in isolation. Rather it was part of a long line of Summits that were all represented: Casablanca for women, Marseille for the Mediterranean, Yamoussoukro for Africa, and now Toronto for North America and Bogotá for South America. Furthermore, the Mayor of Paris will carry all of this work forward during events related to the Paris conference.
