Whether local or global, the climate crisis affects us all, yet the worst impacts of climate change often affect those who have contributed the least to its creation. Around the world, people are experiencing loss and damage due to the climate crisis, and we must stand in international solidarity with those disproportionately impacted. EJC seeks to be a part of a grassroots movement on a global scale by connecting with activists around the world.

Sign On to the US Fair Shares NDC!
We believe that our communities can build real climate solutions that are just and equitable for all families across the United States. Let’s begin to shift the conversation to what is possible if we work together as opposed to what is limiting us. Show your organization’s support by signing on to the US Fair Share 2035 NDC!
The US Fair Share NDC is based on principles of climate justice and the acknowledgment that, as the largest historical emitter and today’s largest fossil fuel producer with plans for endless expansion, the US has not sufficiently contributed to global climate efforts in line with its capabilities and responsibilities. Therefore, the Fair Share approach is designed to recalibrate. the US’ climate commitments to address previous shortcomings by ensuring that the US’ contributions are both equitable and commensurate with its historical emissions, present-day fossil fuel production, and unparalleled economic capabilities.
To prevent average global temperatures from surpassing 1.5°C warming above the 19th century benchmark, the US’ fair share of the 2035 global mitigation effort is equivalent to emissions reductions of 203% below 2005 levels, or approximately 14 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2eq). Thus, the US will cut its domestic emissions by 80% from 2005 levels by 2035 (6 billion metric tons).iii This leaves 8 billion metric tonnes that must still be reduced. Therefore, the US will need to provide developing nations finance and technology (without any offsets), to achieve deeper emissions cuts than they would be able to reach without international support. In other words, international climate finance is as important as reducing domestic emissions since the total amount of reductions is twice what the US currently produces. The minimum annual international finance to begin to reach the US fair share comes to $106 billion for international mitigation support and $340 billion for international adaptation and loss & damage support, for a total of $446 billion.We are seeking organizational sign ons by no later than September 16, 2024.
