Declare Climate Emergency! Chalmers University of Technology

Petitions express opinions. Disagreeing with a petition, or thinking it is pointless, is not grounds for a report, and such reports are closed automatically. Report a petition only if it breaks the law or our Community Guidelines, for example hate speech, defamation of a person or organisation, publishing private information, or fraud. We do not check whether the claims in a petition are true; the author is responsible for them.

This report goes to the people who run this website, not to the petition author or to any authority. If you have a question or feedback for the author, send them a message.

Why are you reporting this?

Please tell us in the text field below what makes you think so.

Petitions express opinions. Disagreeing with a petition, or thinking it is pointless, is not grounds for a report, and we do not remove petitions because people oppose them.

If you send this, your disagreement is recorded and the report is closed automatically with no action; the decision is sent to your email address. If the content breaks the law or our Community Guidelines, choose that option above instead.

You can also start your own petition or contact the author.

Is the false claim about you, your organisation, or another identifiable person or organisation?

Which passage is false? You can click several sentences in the petition text, and tell us for each what is true. This is optional.

Sentences next to each other are joined into one claim. Click a sentence again to remove it.

Declare Climate Emergency! Chalmers University of Technology

The Pope, former UN secretary general, leading climate scientist – voices are being raised across the globe to acknowledge the crisis we are currently in. Bristol University recently became the first academic institution to declare emergency, we urge Chalmers to follow.

Chalmers University of Technology should:

1. Declare climate emergency

2. Communicate to all student and staff why this is necessary

3. Act accordingly

Declaring emergency won´t solve our problems, but it could help form a collective will to actually try. A first step towards action is to admit the crisis which is already here.

Let´s take a stand, together.

For a sustainable future

Do you want to know more about why we are doing this?

We have presented three major concerns to the management.

Keep scrolling and you will find them!

...

1. Paris accord insufficient

The sum of all national commitments amount to more than 3 degrees of warming.

Nations appear not be able to hold their commitments, global emissions are still rising.

Models are based on future developments of systems to capture huge amounts of Co2.

Models are based on just 66% certainty, at “secure” levels significant risk of collapse remains.

Source: Emissions are still rising: ramp up the cuts, Nature

Source: IPCC special report - Global Warming of 1.5ºC

2. Risk of systematic underestimation of the IPCC

The IPPC tend to a conservative logic with a long time delay to include new research.

The IPCC still lack access to fully integrated models for systems of positive feedbacks.

Significant risk that the basis for targets and commitments is insufficient.

3. The universities are not doing what is necessary

University emissions are not decreasing.

Our experience is that universities do not communicate the serious issues stated above.

Our experience is that most staff do not have knowledge of issues stated above.

Future mitigation should address all points stated above.

We conclude that the universities are not securing the future of its students.

We have given Chalmers until the 14th of May to consider this proposal. Climate emerency must be declared before the end of this semester.

We do not check whether the claims in a petition are true; the author is responsible for them. If you send this, it is recorded and the report is closed automatically with no action; the decision is sent to your email address.

You can start your own petition with the information you believe is correct, or contact the author.

A false claim about an identifiable person or organisation is defamation, and we do act on that.

Who is the content about?
Is the person the content is about a politician, a decision-maker or another public figure?
What does the content criticise?

Public criticism of how a politician or decision-maker acts in a public role is allowed, also when the events are old. That a matter is old is not in itself a ground for removal. We can still act on a false claim about the person or on otherwise unlawful content.

If the matter is old or no longer current, it is best to contact the petition author directly. The author can remove the petition for any reason; we cannot.
