Anuna De Wever Instagram – A new chapter of activism has begun.
Many said that COP26 was one of humanity’s last chances to turn the tide sufficiently in order to stay under 1.5C.
It took me a day, after COP, to reflect and feel the grief of everything that has happened and the decisions made over the past two weeks. I feel much more disappointed and exhausted than I normally do.
Although some of the negotiators pretend the two last weeks were a success, most even admit it was a failure. Coal will not be phased out. Gas and oil wasn’t even on the table.
Current targets will increase emissions instead of reduce them. They’ll lead to a world uninhabitable for millions of people.
This is an insult towards the world. And an insult towards people. Finally there’s no words anymore to hide the inaction that is taking place. Its more than clear that our so called ‘world leaders’ decided to take a path that’ll leave millions of people behind and will endanger humanity.
And as a quick reminder, these are the people many of us VOTE for.
We will need to change all of it. And we can. This is not the moment to give up hope. This is the moment to not settle for anything else than the truth anymore.
It’ll take time for me to figure out and completely feel what this means for me as an activist and in what way I see the future of my activism. But if there’s one thing I know it’s that we need to double, triple, the amount of pressure.
And I’ll be a part of that pressure. | Posted on 15/Nov/2021 22:00:52
