Welcome !
Climate for Peace is a global call for the cessation of armed conflict and hostilities, in order to mobilize all available resources in the overriding challenge of averting climate catastrophe and fossil fuel supply cataclysms. It specifically calls for the concerted decommissioning of non-renewable energy systems, and the installation of distributed renewable energy generation as a global first-order priority. It calls for an end to deforestation, and, instead, for massive afforestation and soil regeneration programs.Global atmospheric C02 concentrations are a full third above sustainable levels and petroleum production capacity at peak. More than 40 of the poorest nations pay more in oil imports than what they generate in exports. The global food supply system is at risk due to over-dependence on fossil-fuel supplies, and water scarcities are being exacerbated by the massive water waste caused by the coal and uranium powered electricity regime. As long as massive hydrocarbon combustion levels prevail, along the entire development spectrum, there can be no sustainability, not in development, not in poverty reduction, the environment or indeed, global and local economic systems.
Given the precarious, human-induced upsetting of the global climate balance and sharp petroleum supply risks, the dangers of major social unrest and military escalations become more pronounced each day. To help head off these risks the 'Climate for Peace' campaign seeks to imbue in both world leaders and people the conviction that this common threat is the world's proverbial common enemy. Climate for Peace is a challenge to work towards a solar truce, a suspension of major hostilities, in order to convert that energy to joint and massive action in replacing the global energy infrastructure and other prosperity building programs, capable of lowering carbon pollution
concentrations in the atmosphere.

Download the Project S4G - Solar for Gaza, an educational project conducted by the students of the Renewable City course, University of Liechtenstein advocating renewable energy based assistance as an integral part of conflict resolution and a lasting end to the violence. Project S4G presents a vision for a 100% renewable energy based Gaza and wider region, as precondition for sustainable peace, security, resilience and essential wealth.

As an initial and tangible case in point, Climate for Peace calls for a concerted Solar for Gaza program. The Solar for Gaza initiative is linked to a reconciling Solar for Sderot call, and focused on a number of aims. It is to in some extremely modest way help focus on contributing to overcoming a great humanitarian crisis - and the conduct of an international, initially university supported study focused on making the City and the Strip a 100%
renewable zone, in ways that assist in local prosperity and development perspectives throughout Palestine, Israel und the wider region. Solar for Gaza and the Climate for Peace movement are founded on the vision of a renewably powered world - the only basis for sustainable development.
Write to info[at]climateforpeace.org to endorse this call today, with your institutional or corporate logo.
Write to us also if you would like to discuss a donation, or propose an initiative. We are constantly looking for initiatives we could recommend. Such projects are aimed at making renewable energy part of peaceful solutions, and at making conflict resolution part of transitioning away from dangerous and costly fossil and nuclear energy supply systems - to locally beneficial renewable power.
