Pledge to reduce your carbon footprint
As part of the Climate Challenge, we are asking South Africans to take this pledge as a statement of intent to take the necessary action to tackle climate change.
I have signed this pledge because I am convinced that we must act quickly and decisively to change the way we live and to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions dramatically if we are to have a realistic chance of avoiding catastrophic impacts on humanity and all other life on earth. The scientific evidence is incontrovertible. I pledge that from today onwards I will:
- consciously change any of my attitudes, values and actions that contribute to climate change;
- prioritise reducing my contribution to greenhouse gas emissions as quickly as possible;
- raise awareness of climate change and the need to change the way we live;
- support calls to governments to urgently commit to emission reduction targets, provide incentives for renewable energy development and implement measures that protect the most vulnerable from the repercussions of climate change; and
- support calls on business leaders to reduce industrial emissions boldly, invest in renewable energy development and make the switch to a low carbon economy.
