Measurable Action?

As my friend Jeroom Remmers (Managing Director at TAPP Coalition) pointed out that, in 1972 OECD countries had decided that they will implement the rule of 'Polluter Pays Principle. In other words, those who buy meat will have to pay extra to compensate for the environmental costs like Water, CO2, and Nitrates. Thus the farmers are rewarded for their extra efforts in the fields of environment, nature, and animal friendly. Unfortunately not much happened since then.

Fast forward 50 years, presently the same is happening with the Paris Agreement. Despite most countries signing it, and many coming forward with bold statements and commitments, In reality, the CO2 emission is still going up and there is still no light in sight.

Unless we start following up our agreements with measurable actions, with clear consequences, I am afraid, 50 years from now, our children will be fighting for survival on scorched earth and wondering at what happened with the Paris Agreement, like we are reading this attached document now......
