"After gathering evidence from the UK, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal, UN special rapporteur Michel Forst said the repression faced by peaceful environmental activists was a major threat to #democracy & #humanrights.
"The environmental emergency that we are collectively facing and that scientists have been documenting for decades cannot be addressed if those raising the alarm and demanding action are criminalised for it."

Please take a moment to appreciate this excellent novel graphic by @ReesCatOphuls

By now, you should realize that there is no chance — zero — that global warming will remain comfortably below 1.5°C. It’s not going to happen, even though back in 2015 in Paris, nearly every country in the world agreed to take all necessary actions to achieve that.
So we know 1.5 is dead at this point. But why is it dead?
Take a look at the chart below of 40 leading nations and how each of them have done so far in meeting their climate commitments.
Nobody, not one nation, is on track to do what they promised. All we ever get is more Business As Usual.

Agli amici di @ultimagenerazione segnalo una modalità di azione diretta nonviolenta basata sul "detournement" dei messaggi pubblicitari, come forma di azione "a basso rischio", aperta a persone che non parteciperebbero ad altri tipi di azione che richiedono un maggior coinvolgimento personale e legale, ma comunque interessate a mettere in circolazione un messaggio contro la "cultura fossile". E buon anno a tutti gli attivisti!
