The document discusses the positions and goals of the Climate Action Network (CAN) regarding limiting global warming. CAN believes global warming should be limited to less than 1.5°C by 2100. CAN calls for phasing out all fossil fuel emissions and transitioning to 100% renewable energy by 2050. CAN's position paper from June 2014 outlines targets such as reaching peak emissions by 2015, reducing CO2 emissions to zero by 2050, and zero deforestation by 2020. The paper recommends policies like protecting forests, promoting sustainable agriculture, establishing renewable energy targets, and phasing out fossil fuel subsidies.

6. TARGETS & LIMITS
• 1.5ºC global warming limit.
• Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions peak (stop increasing and switch to a decline) from 2015.
• CO2 emissions reach zero by 2050, with all fossil fuel energy replaced by clean renewables.
• Zero deforestation by 2020
CAN Position: Long Term Global Goals for 2050 June 2014

7. POLICIES & MEASURES
Protect and manage forests
• P romote sustainable agricultural practices
• Ensure food security across the world is not hampered with these efforts
• Address externalized costs – taking into account the true costs of our current energy system
that result from
- air and water pollution from the associated mining, combustion, and waste disposal;
- significant freshwater use;
- permanent land disfiguration;
- infringement of human rights; and
- worker and public health and safety impacts

8. POLICIES & MEASURES
• Fossil fuel carbon trading does not work
• Binding renewable energy targets
• Phasing out fossil fuel subsidies
• Establishing support schemes, such as feed-in tariffs, long-term government contract auctioning,
Dpreferential grid access for renewables, and citizen ownership of renewables
• Adopt strict efficiency standards for all energy-consuming appliances, buildings and vehicles
• Deployment of smart meters and intuitive grids
