The Solution for the Climate

Make sure emissions peak in 2015 and decrease as rapidly as possible towards zero after that
Developed countries must make cuts of 40 percent on their 1990 carbon emisisons by 2020

Protect tropical forests with a special funding mechanism - forests for climate
Replace dirty fossil fuel energy with renewable energy and energy efficiency
Reject false solutions like nuclear energy
