350.org 2015 Annual Report
"Only an ever-increasing movement of people, everywhere on Earth, is capable of changing a status quo as entrenched as the traditional fossil fuel economy."
In the
article “2015 annual report”, the author, May Boeve, discusses 350.org’s
achievements during the 2015 calendar year.
The organization looked to 2015 as a
crucial year. That was the year global emissions were supposed to peak, and as
such, it took on special significance as a milestone for their work. After the
first major attempt at a global climate treaty collapsed in Copenhagen, 2015
was established as the new deadline. The
author explained that 2015 actually exceeded their expectations, and that there
was a period in which there were calls of “Victory!” for the planet. Overall, this article states that 2015 was a
crucial year for 350.org and for the planet; big steps towards global climate
awareness such as the Paris Agreement were taken.
Fun Fact: Keystone XL and countless
other fossil fuel projects stopped; divestment impact measured in the
trillions; clean energy surging everywhere, and much, much, more.
