We invite grassroots movements worldwide to help us tackle the crises of this generation. We are hosting 4 large global gatherings to coincide with COP 26 (UN’s Climate Change Conference) and the WEF (World Economic Forum).

The first gathering for COM 26V is being held from November 9-20, 2020 in conjunction with the postponed 2020 COP 26 (UN’s Climate Change Conference) and also to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Live Aid at the LiveHope Festival. The second gathering for COM 26V is being held on January 2021 to coincide with the WEF (World Economic Forum). The third gathering is being held from Sept. 17-23, 2021, for the full Celebration of Live Aid at the LiveHope Festival. The fourth gathering for COM 26V is being held from November 1-12, 2021 in conjunction with COP 26 (UN’s Climate Change Conference).

COM 26V is also mobilizing online to put social pressure on the UN’s Climate Change Conference (COP26) which was postponed until Nov. 2021 due to the pandemic. Since the perceived failure of COP25 held last year in Madrid, people feel that we running out of time. We cannot wait for one more year to fix the climate. 

Join the #ClimateChange Movement, the #Womens Movement, the #EndPoverty Movement, the #BasicIncome Movement, #BlackLiveMatter, #FridaysForFuture, the #Peace Movement, the #Blockchain Movement, #NativeLivesMatter, the #MeToo Movement, and more to create a new world. NGOs, businesses, and governments are invited to collaborate and to sponsor the people’s gathering to find solutions for the climate and the crises facing our planet and modern society. 

The outcome of this COM 26V gathering will be

• • (a) the co-creation of “Our Mother Earth Constitution“, a legal document guiding the Post COVID-19 World,
  • (b) the formation of Free Nations, a federation of 1,000 Indigenous Nations who protect 80% of the Earth’s Biodiversity (a sovereign federation of nations like the UN), and
  • (c) a series of solutions and actions to rebuild the Post COVID-19 World that will allow all beings to thrive on this great planet.

This is an Indigenous Peoples led initiative to build the broadest possible coalition to reset everything and to resolve these crises. Every organization and every individual can be part of the solution. We need the full collaboration of governments from around the world, industries, and civil societies.

SUPPORTING COP 26 IN 2021

The 3 Peacemakers believe that countries are not doing enough to help take action on climate change, but still supports the “Conference of the Parties”, the United Nations Climate Change Conference to be held in November 2021. It will be attended by countries that signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) – the treaty agreed 1994. The UN’s COP26 in 2021 is a highly anticipated climate change conference that was officially postponed until November 2021 due to COVID-19. We are holding an alternative COM 26V event instead.

We need to immediately meet these challenges head-on. We cannot wait for one more year until 2021. The Paris accord of 2015 marked the first time 180 rich and poor nations came together to hold global heating to no more than 2C, and preferably 1.5C, which scientists say is the limit of safety. Since the Paris agreement was signed in 2015, the willingness of governments to tackle the climate and the ecological crisis has waned. Furthermore, the Paris pledges to curb carbon emissions are inadequate. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 was considered a pivotal year for climate change, with green politicians and activists hoping the momentum of historic environmental protests would lead to fundamental structural shifts in the energy sector away from fossil fuels.

Since the perceived failure of COP25 held last year in Madrid, people feel that we running out of time. The negotiators were not only failed to clinch a deal on a market mechanism that would establish rules on trading carbon credits but were also unable to agree on how to help poorer countries protect themselves from the impacts of climate change. Under the accord, nearly 200 countries agreed to keep global temperatures well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by reducing emissions. 

RECREATING & REBUILDING A POST COVID-19 WORLD

Whether you are taking individual actions to reduce your carbon footprint or you are a company reforesting the Amazon rainforest or you are starting to pay your employees living wages, we are here to support you and highlight your contribution to creating a better world.

Mary Robinson, the chair of the Elders, a campaigning group of senior world figures, and a former UN climate envoy says, “The reality is that we need every company, every city, every country to be carbon neutral by 2050. If we can get that, then COP26 really will be a game-changer.”

This event is led by The 3 Peacemakers, along with Indigenous Peoples and co-hosted by organizations that care about the People and the Planet; co-hosts include the LiveHope Festival, Planet Gliese, Climate Hacks, ListenGive, and allied NGOs.
