Demands

Fridays For Future Estonia demands are based on Lausanne Climate Declaration, which was composed in 2019 by FFF activists from 34 European countires.

  1. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions gradually starting the decrease in 2020 at the latest and reaching net zero CO2 emissions by the early 2030s as per countries’ current context in the Paris Agreement.
  2. Implement pricing on greenhouse gases in line with the demands of social justice and the costs imposed upon future generations.
  3. Sustainable transport should be stimulated over unsustainable transport through accessibility and regulations in private, public and cargo sectors.
  4. Reduce energy consumption.
  5. Immediate investments into renewable energy.
  6. Recognise the climate crisis and its solutions for what they are, make truthful and accurate information accessible to everyone and actively communicate this information.

  13. The ecosystems and biodiversity should be protected.
