Grassroots Movements to Support the Post-Paris Agenda: A Call to Action

Community and field based recommendations to UNFCCC

• By inviting and developing transparent collaborations and partnerships, we will have a broader reach to assist in disaster relief and community building efforts.

• Following the described model for charity and relief, Tzu Chi Foundation and its partners will seek to report annually on their relief and development progress.

• Strongly encourage UNFCCC & IPCC to consider inputs and advices from global charity organizations in an effort to reduce future climate-related disasters.

• As climate related disasters become ever more prevalent, rather than a clear separation between “church and state,” as well as other actors, there needs to be bilateral partnerships between the parties; similarly, there must be a continued and focused effort to increase PPP, Public-Private Partnerships.
• We should emphatically promote the realities of climate change through media channels, further expanding reach and awareness, while simultaneously expelling climate change denialism and skepticism.
