Hvordan kan den inspirere os til at bevæge os i retning af bæredygtig omstilling?
Deklarationen blev til som et internationalt samarbejde før og under befolkningernes alternativ til FN’s klimatopmøde COP15 i Bella Center i december, - nemlig under Klimaforum09 i DGI-Byen, som i løbet af de to uger i december blev besøgt af omkring 50.000 mennesker fra hele verden.
Deklarationen er tiltrådt af omkring flere hundrede grupper og organisationer i den ganske verden og af mere end 1500 enkeltpersoner, og er nu et af de væsentlige bidrag i det videre internationale græsrodsarbejde for bedre overlevelsesmuligheder for vores planet og dens befolkninger.
Kirsten Gamst-Nielsen og
Merete Hjorth Jensen, aktive i Klimaforum, vil fremhæve hovedpunkterne i
Deklarationen og iværksætte en diskussion af mulighederne for at konkretisere og videreudvikle Deklarationens hensigter til virkeliggørelse HER i landet, nationalt og lokalt, - med håb om bevægelse i retning af bæredygtig omstilling. Desuden vil Kirsten kort berette om Evo Morales’ Folkenes klimakonference i Bolivia fra 20.-22. april 2010.
