Yasuni, an initiative to change history
To confront the challenge posed by climate change to the future of mankind Ecuador’s innovative proposal:
To leave beneath the Yasuni National Park 840 million barrels of oil there are within the ITT block by doing so, 407 million metric tons of carbon emission that would be released into the atmosphere by the burning of these fossil fuels are avoided.
In exchange Ecuador requests that the International community assumes its corresponsability by contributing no less than half of revenues that would have been received by selling these oil reserves.
Direct benefits of initiative
Non emission into the atmosphere of the 407 million of tons of CO2
Non exploitation of these petroleum reserves The conservation of the immense biological richness within
the Yasuni National Park , one of the most bio-diverse reserve on the planet
Respect for the cultures of the indigenous tribes who live in isolation within the boundaries of Yasuni National Park
Improve social development of areas of influence of Yasuni initiative project
Reforestation of one million hectares A decisive impulse to the country’s transition from an
extractive economy of petroleum exploitation towards a more sustainable development model with broad use of renewable energy, respect for biodiversity, and increased social equity.
THE YASUNI ITT FUND – THE CGY’S CERTIFICATES OF GUARANTEE
They will become a financial instrument issued to the contributors and donors by the Ecuadorian State.
They guarantee that all the oil reserves that are now underground will remain there permanently.
They are a non-interest accruing with no maturity date given their permanent nature.
They could only be redeemed if the Ecuadorian government were to order the exploitation of oil within the ITT fields.
All income generated by the nation’s sales of CGYs will be deposited in an international trust fund managed by the United Nations Development Program UNDP.
FUND’S SUPPORT
Donations from different sources:
Contributions of countries from all over the world and international cooperation
Responsible corporations concerned with the future of mankind
Philanthropist worried about the possible consequences of climate change
Small donors and global citizens through access to Yasuni Fund Website www.yasuni-itt.gov.ec
