“The climate and ecological crisis cannot be solved within today's political and economic systems. That is not an opinion, that's a fact (..). It's just simple maths. The UN [Emissions] Gap Report shows that the world's planned fossil fuels production up to the year 2030 counts for 120% more than what would be consistent with a 1.5º target. It just doesn't add up. So if we are to avoid a climate catastrophe, we have to make it possible to tear up contracts and abandon existing deals and agreements on a scale we can't even begin to imagine today. And that alone requires a whole new way of thinking since those sorts of actions are not politically, economically or legally possible today.”
