Deklarasi darurat iklim

Deklarasi darurat iklim atau **deklarasi darurat iklim** adalah tindakan yang diambil oleh pemerintah dan ilmuwan Untuk mengakui umat manusia berada dalam krisis iklim.

Deklarasi pertama dibuat oleh pemerintah daerah pada bulan Desember 2016. Sejak itu, lebih dari 2.100 pemerintah daerah di 39 negara telah membuat deklarasi darurat iklim . Populasi yang dicakup oleh yurisdiksi yang telah menyatakan keadaan darurat iklim berjumlah lebih dari 1 miliar warga.

Pada 29 April 2019, Pemerintah Wales mendeklarasikan keadaan darurat iklim, yang kemudian disahkan oleh parlemennya, Senedd, pada 1 Mei 2019, ketika menjadi yang pertama di dunia yang secara resmi mendeklarasikan darurat iklim.

Setelah pemerintah membuat deklarasi, langkah selanjutnya bagi pemerintah yang mendeklarasikan adalah menetapkan prioritas untuk mitigasi perubahan iklim, sebelum akhirnya memasuki keadaan darurat atau setara. Dalam mendeklarasikan keadaan darurat iklim, pemerintah mengakui bahwa perubahan iklim (atau pemanasan global) ada dan langkah-langkah yang diambil hingga saat ini tidak cukup untuk membatasi perubahan yang dibawa olehnya. Keputusan tersebut menekankan perlunya pemerintah dan administrasi untuk mengembangkan langkah-langkah untuk menghentikan pemanasan global yang disebabkan oleh manusia.

Deklarasi dapat dibuat pada berbagai tingkatan, misalnya di tingkat pemerintah nasional atau lokal, dan bisa berbeda dalam kedalaman dan detail panduan mereka Istilah "darurat iklim" tidak hanya menggambarkan keputusan formal, tetapi juga mencakup tindakan untuk mencegah kerusakan iklim Ini seharusnya membenarkan dan memfokuskan badan pemerintahan pada tindakan iklim Istilah khusus "darurat" digunakan untuk memberikan prioritas pada topik ini, dan untuk menghasilkan mindset yang mendesak

Istilah "darurat iklim" telah dipromosikan oleh aktivis iklim dan politikus aksi pro-iklim untuk menambah rasa mendesak untuk menanggapi masalah jangka panjang. Sebuah survei opini publik Program Pembangunan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa di 50 negara menemukan bahwa 64% dari 1,2 juta responden percaya bahwa perubahan iklim adalah keadaan darurat global.

*Darurat iklim* sebagai istilah yang digunakan dalam protes terhadap perubahan iklim sebelum 2010 (misalnya "Climate-Emergency-Rally" di Melbourne pada bulan Juni 2009). Pada 2017, dewan kota Darebin mengadopsi beberapa langkah bernama "Rencana Darurat Iklim Darebin". Pada 4 Desember 2018, Club of Rome mempresentasikan "Rencana Darurat Iklim" mereka, yang mencakup 10 langkah prioritas tinggi untuk membatasi pemanasan global. Dengan munculnya gerakan seperti Extinction Rebellion dan School Strike for Climate, Kekhawatiran itu telah diangkat oleh berbagai pemerintah.

Beberapa kota dan komunitas Eropa yang mendeklarasikan keadaan darurat iklim secara bersamaan adalah anggota Klima-Bündnis (bahasa Jerman untuk "aliansi iklim"), yang mewajibkan mereka untuk menurunkan emisi CO2 mereka sebesar 10% setiap lima tahun.

Kamus Oxford Memilih "darurat iklim" sebagai kata tahun 2019 dan mendefinisikan istilah tersebut sebagai "situasi di mana tindakan mendesak diperlukan untuk mengurangi atau menghentikan perubahan iklim dan menghindari kerusakan lingkungan yang berpotensi tidak dapat dipulihkan akibat itu." Penggunaan istilah ini melonjak lebih dari 10.000% antara September 2018 dan September 2019.

## History

### Early stages
Encouraged by the campaigners behind a Climate Emergency Declaration petition, which had been launched in Australia in May 2016, the first governmental declaration of a climate emergency in the world was put forward by Trent McCarthy, an Australian Greens Councillor at the City of Darebin in Melbourne, Australia. The city declared a climate emergency on 5 December 2016. In August 2017, Darebin decided upon a catalogue of actions in a "Darebin Climate Emergency Plan". Darebin's declaration was followed by Hoboken in New Jersey and Berkeley, California.

Hearing of these developments in 2018, UK Green Party politician Carla Denyer, then a member of Bristol City Council, took the lead role in bringing about Bristol City Council's declaration of a climate emergency. This was the first such declaration by in Europe, and has been widely credited as a breakthrough moment for cities and national parliaments beginning to declare climate emergency. Denyer's motion was described in the UK newspaper *[[The Independent]]* as 'the historic first motion' which by July 2019 had been 'copied by more than 400 local authorities and parliaments'.

On 28 April 2019, Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of the Scottish Government, declared a climate emergency at the SNP conference; the Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Act was passed on 25 September 2019. The following day, the Welsh Government declared a climate emergency, which was subsequently passed by its parliament, the Senedd, on 1 May 2019, when it became the first in the world to officially declare a climate emergency.  The Parliament of the United Kingdom followed later that afternoon.

### Subsequent developments
Pope Francis declared a climate emergency in June 2019. The Pope also called for a "radical energy transition" away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources, and urged leaders to "hear the increasingly desperate cries of the earth and its poor." He also argued against "the continued search for new fossil fuel reserves" and stated that "fossil fuels should remain underground."

On 10 July 2019, networks representing more than 7,000 higher and further education institutions from six continents announced that they are declaring a Climate Emergency, and agreed to undertake a three-point plan to address the crisis through their work with students. Some statements were criticized for not including specific measures.

In June 2019, Councillor Trent McCarthy of the City of Darebin brought together councillors and parliamentarians in Australia and around the world for two online link-ups to connect the work of climate emergency-declared councils and governments. Following these link-ups and a successful motion at the National General Assembly of Local Government, McCarthy announced the formation of Climate Emergency Australia, a new network of Australian governments and councils advocating for a climate emergency response.

Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon believes the US government should declare a climate emergency. Blumenauer's proposed legislation is supported by 2020 US presidential candidate and Senator Bernie Sanders, as well as Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

In 2019, according to an eight-country poll, a majority of the public recognise the climate crisis as an "emergency" and say politicians are failing to tackle the problem, backing the interests of Big Oil over the wellbeing of ordinary people. The survey found that climate breakdown is viewed as the most important issue facing the world in seven out of the eight countries surveyed.

In September 2013, the Australian Medical Association officially declared climate change a public health emergency. The AMA noted that climate change will cause "higher mortality and morbidity from heat stress, injury and mortality from increasingly severe weather events; increases in the transmission of vector-borne diseases; food insecurity resulting from declines in agricultural outputs; [and] a higher incidence of mental-ill health." The AMA has called on the Australian Government to adopt a carbon budget; reduce emissions; and transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, among other proposals to mitigate the health impacts of climate change. Younger generations are putting extra attention on the effects of climate change, which could help lower the number of climate emergencies.

The Australian Greens Party have called on the federal Parliament to declare a climate emergency. Greens MP for Melbourne, Adam Bandt, welcomed the UK Parliament's declaration of a climate emergency and argued that Australia should follow their lead. In October 2019, an official e-petition to the Australian Parliament calling for the declaration of a climate emergency, received more than 400,000 signatories. This is the single most popular online Parliamentary petition in Australia. Former federal Liberal Party leader John Hewson has publicly urged for a conscience vote in the Parliament on the climate emergency, despite the Liberal Party's current position on climate change. He also stated that "it was an emergency 30 years ago".

In October 2019, the Australian Labor Party supported the Greens Party's policy to declare a climate emergency, however the proposition failed with the rejection of the Morrison Government. The motion was supported by independent members Zali Steggall, Helen Haines and Andrew Wilkie, as well as Centre Alliance.

On 5 November 2019, the journal *[[BioScience]]* published an article endorsed by further 11,000 scientists from 153 nations, that states Climate Emergency ("We declare clearly and unequivocally that planet Earth is facing a climate emergency") and that the world's people face "untold suffering due to the climate crisis" unless there are major transformations to global society. On 28 July 2021, BioScience published another article, stating, that more than 2,800 additional scientists have signed that declaration; and that in addition, 1,990 jurisdictions in 34 countries have formally declared or recognized a climate emergency.

In November 2019, the Oxford Dictionaries made the term *climate emergency* word of the year.

On 14–15 February 2020 the first National Climate Emergency Summit was held at the city hall in Melbourne, Australia. It was a sold-out event with 2,000 attendees and 100 speakers.

In December 2020, New Zealand declared a climate emergency. After winning reelection, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's majority Labour government invited the Greens to participate in a "cooperation agreement", and worked with the Minister for Climate James Shaw in declaring a climate emergency.

As of December 2020, five years after the Paris Agreement, at least 15 countries have already declared a state of climate emergency, including Japan and New Zealand. (Note: The fact that councils in 34 countries have declared is not the same as that these countries' national governments have declared.) The Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres has urged all other countries to declare climate emergencies until carbon neutrality is reached. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, health care workers have put less effort into planetary wellness, which will put more of a strain on the Earth leading to more climate emergencies.

In September 2021, Mauritius joined the list of countries calling for a State of Climate Emergency. The recommendation was made by the National Youth Environment (NYEC) Chairperson, Dr. Zaheer Allam, and announced by the Environment Minister, Kavy Ramano, after the first sitting of the Interministerial Council on Climate Change. A novel approach has been introduced which involves analyzing past society's and how they have dealt with other types of disasters.
