Subject: PLEASE SHARE FOR SIGNATURE - Humanitarian crisis and climate change - open letter for Laurent Fabius and Ban Ki Moon

In french below

Dear all,

On September 9 an international conference on “Climate change and humanitarian crises : understanding and taking action” will take place in Paris, in the presence of Mr. Laurent Fabius, French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development, Mrs. Annick Girardin, Minister of State for Development and Francophony and Mrs Laurence Tubiana, Special Representative for the 2015 Paris Climate Conference. At the close of the conference, which looks at examining the link between climate change and humanitarian crises, French and international humanitarian NGOs will hand over to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development, Mr Laurent Fabius, an open letter addressed to the States Parties invested in the COP 21 and ODD negotiations, to make them aware of the humanitarian impacts of their negotiations and urge them to work towards an ambitious agreement. 11 recommendations will be presented to mitigate the disastrous effects of climate changes on the well-being of vulnerable people. Mr Fabius will hand over the letter to Mr Ban Ki Moon the next week, prior to the UN general assembly and the discussions on the SDGs.

The letter is attached and we would like to gather the maximum signature before handing it over to Mr Fabius.

CARE France was very involved in the drafting of the letter and CARE International has signed it. We are now trying to gather the maximum number of signature. So we would need your help with the dissemination of this message with your partners!

It is key that the humanitarian community engages and signs this text, as all aid actors face in their daily work the devastating effects of climate change. By calling out together, we stand a better chance to raise the COP21 and SDGs negotiators’ awareness on the humanitarian consequences of their decisions or lack of decision.

A signature platform will soon be launched online, but in the meantime interested NGO can send an email to stephanie stern (stern at iris-france.org<mailto:stern at iris-france.org>) or me confirming their signature and  indicating their : name, organization, job title and attaching a logo.

Bonjour à tous,

 Le 9 septembre prochain une conférence internationale aura lieu à Paris, en présence de Mme Annick Girardin, Secrétaire d’Etat au Développement et à la Francophonie, de Mme Laurence Tubiana, Ambassadeur chargé des négociations sur le changement climatique de M. Laurent Fabius, Ministre des Affaires Etrangères . Cette conférence cherche à mettre en lumière le lien entre le dérèglement climatique et les crises humanitaires et sera l’occasion pour les ONG et associations de remettre à M. Laurent Fabius, une lettre ouverte destinée aux Etats engagés dans les négociations de la COP 21 et des ODD.

Cette lettre a pour objectif de sensibiliser les états sur le lien direct et tenu qui existe entre les crises humanitaires et le dérèglement climatique et de proposer un certain nombre de recommandations afin d’en atténuer la portée sur les populations vulnérables. M. Laurent Fabius transmettra cette lettre la semaine suivante à M. Ban Ki Moon en marge  de  l’ouverture de l’assemblée générale des Nations unies et des discussions sur les ODD.

Vous trouverez la lettre en PJ. Elle a déjà été signée par CARE international, ACTED, la Croix Rouge Française, Handicap International, Action Contre la Faim International, l'association Amel et le GNDR.

CARE France a été très impliqué dans l'écriture de cette lettre (et l'organisation de la conférence). Et nous avons besoin de vous pour partager cette lettre et nous aider à "récolter" des signatures!

Il est important que la communauté humanitaire se mobilise pour signer et porter ce texte qui la concerne, toutes les ONG et associations étant directement confrontées dans leur travail au quotidien aux  effets dévastateurs du dérèglement climatique. C’est en unissant nos voix que nous réussirons à faire pression sur les parties prenantes des négociations et à les sensibiliser sur les impacts humanitaires que toutes les décisions ou absences de décisions auront.

Une plateforme de signature est en cours de validation et sera partagée avec vous  ultérieurement, mais les organisations interessées pour signer peuvent déjà envoyer leur confirmation à Stéphanie Stern (stern at iris-france.org<mailto:stern at iris-france.org>) et/ou moi avec le nom de leur organisation, ainsi que leurs nom, prénom, et logo de bonne qualité.

Merci d'avance à tous.
