O que a Europa precisa é de um pacto de sustentabilidade e bem-estar

238 académicos europeus, representantes da sociedade civil e de autarquias, assinaram uma carta aberta para exigir aos líderes políticos da UE que tornem as formas de vida sustentáveis a norma.

Nos últimos meses, esta carta foi também subscrita por mais de 90 mil outros cidadãos que apoiam as suas exigências (https://you.wemove.eu/campaigns/poscrescimento).

Com as eleições europeias à porta, não há tempo a perder para exigir ação por parte dos deputados europeus, colocando a sustentabilidade e bem-estar no topo das prioridades!

Conheça a carta na íntegra.

O que a Europa precisa é de um Pacto de Sustentabilidade e Bem-estar

10 maio 2019

Ouve-se um eco nas ruas da Europa e não só: “system change, not climate change” (i.e. promover uma mudança de sistema em vez de uma mudança climática). Quando a ativista climática Greta Thunberg se reuniu com o presidente da Comissão Europeia, Jean-Claude Juncker, ela disse-lhe para conversar com os especialistas, mas o que eles deveriam dizer?

Nós, especialistas em mudança de sistema provenientes da academia, da sociedade civil e das cidades, temos algumas respostas. No Outono passado, um grupo de 238 cientistase 90.000 cidadãos pediram o fim da dependência do crescimento na Europa e na conferência Growth in Transition, em Viena, tornámos esse pedido mais concreto. Estamos a olhar para além do aumento do PIB em direção a um plano positivo para uma economia pós-crescimento.

Os nossos três principais pontos de alavancagem sobre COMO iniciar uma transição para uma sociedade próspera dentro dos limites planetários aconselham os criadores de políticas aos níveis europeu, nacional, regional e municipal sobre formas de enfrentar a ainda tripla crise da mudança climática, extinção em massa e desigualdade.

Sejamos honestos. Nem o Acordo de Paris, nem as Metas de Biodiversidade de Aichi, nem os regimes fiscais atuais são capazes de lidar com estas ameaças existenciais. Como um grupo de cientistas acabou de escrever na revista Science: “As medidas atuais para proteger o clima e a biosfera são profundamente inadequadas”.

Mudanças profundas não são apenas necessárias, mas também desejadas. Um estudo recente e robusto realizado em toda a Europa mostrou que a maioria dos europeus considera que o ambiente deve ser uma prioridade, mesmo à custa do crescimento.

Uma ampla concordância foi encontrada em três grandes mudanças sistémicas. Estes três “saltos” não excluem outras soluções, mas todos são urgentes, possíveis, necessários, desejados e transformadores. Eles exigem uma mentalidade visionária e uma atitude proactiva. Eles exigem uma mudança mental do pensamento incremental, a mentalidade que nos trouxe a este ponto de crise.

1) Destronar o “rei” PIB, coroar a rainha BEM-ESTAR

As pessoas querem prosperar num mundo vivo. As políticas voltadas para o crescimento do PIB muitas vezes sacrificam as pessoas e o planeta, enquanto as políticas voltadas para o bem-estar nos ajudam no processo de cura.

Prosperidade sem crescimento é possível. O crescimento pela exploração excessiva de recursos, atalhos de segurança e poluição leva as pessoas e o planeta a incêndios. Exemplos desde o Butão até à Nova Zelândia e Barcelona mostram que colocar o progresso social e ambiental à frentedo PIB realmente funciona.

Exigências à Comissão Europeia:

• Transformar o Pacto de Estabilidade e Crescimento (PEC) no Pacto de Sustentabilidade e Bem-Estar (PSB).
• Realizar uma mudança do paradigma de “emprego, crescimento e investimento” para “bem-estar, emprego e sustentabilidade”
• Estabelecer uma Direção-Geral (DG) para o bem-estar e as gerações futuras liderada pelo primeiro vice-presidente.

Exigências aos países, regiões e municípios:

• Criar um portfólio de bem-estar e gerações futuras no coração da estrutura de governança.

2) De PARAÍSOS FISCAIS para poucos a REDISTRIBUIÇÃO para muitos

Taxar mais a riqueza e trabalhar menos. Taxar a poluição progressivamente e parar de subsidiá-la.

Duas décadas de pós-guerra de + -90% de maiores taxas de imposto sobre o rendimento nos EUA e no Reino Unido tornaram-se numa taxa (muito) abaixo de 50% atualmente. A maioria dos países da UE seguiu este exemplo, absolvendo assim os mais ricos. Como resultado, a desigualdade tem aumentado de forma constante e um sentimento crescente de injustiça (fiscal) tem culminado em agitação social e populismo. A revolta dos coletes amarelos na França mostrou que não se pode tributar a poluição sem ter um sistema justo de tributação. Os subsídios que apoiam a poluição e o uso excessivo de recursos precisam ser eliminados imediatamente e os impostos sobre a poluição/carbono devem ser usados ​​para promover o bem-estar dos mais pobres.

Exigências:

• Definir taxas de imposto sobre rendimentos superiores a 80% para redistribuir a riqueza para famílias de baixos e médios rendimentos.
• Taxar as viagens aéreas para redistribuir a riqueza para melhorar o transporte público e baixar o seu custo[1].
• Lançar impostos progressivos sobre o carbono e sobre extração de recursos na origem e redistribuir.
• Criar incentivos fiscais para o uso de materiais reciclados.

3) Produtos EFICIENTES são bons, soluções SUFICIENTES são ótimas

Os ganhos de eficiência são importantes, mas representam apenas o começo da solução.

A exclusão social e cultural pode destruir os ganhos de eficiência. Não precisamos de vender mais produtos, precisamos de soluções suficientes que sejam duradouras. Algumas empresas já vendem o serviço de ter luz, em vez do produto lâmpada, convertendo assim o incentivo da obsolescência programada para produtos duradouros. A estratégia de resíduos zero de Barcelona inclui sistemas avançados de recolha seletiva com contentores de resíduos inteligentes para identificar utilizadores e reduzir os resíduos, assim como aumentar a separação de resíduos biológicos – indo assim muito além da consciencialização, prevenção e promoção da reutilização.

Exigências:

• Apoiar o desenvolvimento de melhores modelos de negócios, como a economia de produtos e serviços.
• Implementar estratégias de lixo eletrónico a todos os níveis de governança seguindo a hierarquia de gerenciamento de resíduos para operações e Esquemas ampliados de Responsabilidade do Produtor
• Diminuir o IVA sobre serviços de trabalho intensivo, como reparação.
• Mudança de políticas de eficiência para políticas de suficiência, de forma a tornar padrão ter um estilo de vida sustentável.
