1Sky is a non-partisan campaign to aggregate a movement in support of federal action to stop global warming.[1] Partners include Step It Up 2007 (and its global successor 350.org), the Clinton Global Initiative, Greenpeace, Oxfam, and the Energy Action Coalition.
About
1Sky is using a coalition of environmental groups, scientists, economists, businesses, religious groups, health organizations, social justice and military leaders, elected officials, celebrities, and citizens to pressure the United States Congress to support the 1Sky Platform. President Clinton announced the 1Sky Platform at the Clinton Global Initiative in 2007.[2]
The 1Sky Platform
 |
The 1Sky policy platform represents the scientific bottom line – the solutions that must be implemented immediately to avert catastrophic climate change and transition to a green, economically just, future.
- Create 5 million green jobs and pathways out of poverty by rebuilding and refueling America with a comprehensive energy efficiency mobilization including immediate investments in a clean-energy infrastructure.
- Reduce global warming pollution at least 35% below current levels by 2020, and at least 80% by 2050, in line with the best science available.
- Re-power America by imposing a moratorium on new coal plants that emit global warming pollution and replacing dirty fuels with 100% renewable energy.
The 1Sky platform was adopted by the Energy Action Coalition and its partners as the platform of the first national youth conference on climate change Power Shift 2007, currently Power Shift.
