We are inviting your organizations, networks, and institutions to endorse the TEN PRINCIPLES for a RAPID, EQUITABLE, and JUST TRANSITION to RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS.

The goal of these Principles is to ensure that the RE transition is consistent with the needs and rights of the people and communities while staying within the earth’s ecological limits.
