As the COP29 climate meeting is reaching its end, it should not come as a surprise that yet another COP is failing. The current draft is a complete disaster. But even if our expectations are close to non-existent, we must never ever find ourselves reacting to these continuous betrayals with anything but rage. The people in power are yet again about to agree to a death sentence to the countless people whose lives have been or will be ruined by the climate crisis. The current text is full of false solutions and empty promises. The money from the Global North countries needed to pay back their climate debt is still nowhere to be seen. The host country – Azerbaijan – is a repressive and authoritarian petro-state that has committed ethnic cleansing and genocidal acts towards Armenians. Civil society present at COP29 are being silenced, yet continue fighting and pushing negotiators towards the bare minimum. All this while oppression, inequalities, wars and genocides all over the world continue to intensify. Those in power are worsening the destabilisation and destruction of our life supporting ecosystems. We are on track to experience the hottest year ever recorded, with the global greenhouse gases reaching an all time high just last year. It is clear that our current systems are not working in our favour. The COP processes aren’t just failing us, they are part of a larger system built on injustice and designed to sacrifice current and future generations for the opportunity of a few to keep making unimaginable profits and continue to exploit planet and people. With every negotiation, with every speech made by a world leader and with every agreement they sign, it becomes clear that it is up to us as a global collective to take the action we so desperately need and show where the leadership truly lies. They are not going to do it for us, as this COP29 yet again proves. #COP29 #PayUp #ClimateJusticeNow 📸: @filippa.paperin
The proposed “Grøn Trepart” on agriculture from the Danish government is catastrophic for the climate and we need to save it!
The Swedish police has banned the Palestine student encampment at Stockholm University, but we will not be silenced, students and teachers continue to protest and demand an academic boycott of Israel and any connection to the Israeli universities. Students put up tents at the library, to say that they have had enough of complicity of the genocide in Gaza. We will not accept the repression from Swedish police against students peacefully protesting against a genocide. #FreePalestine #Longlivethestudentintifada
Once again, University of Copenhagen is cracking down on peaceful pro-Palestine student activism. Today we set up a camp on our campus, sitting peacefully alongside other fellow students. We have now been forcibly removed from our own campus after the university called the police on us, for insisting on ending our own university’s compliance in the apartheid system perpetrated by Israel on the Palestinian people. ACADEMIC BOYCOTT NOW
Today, the Swedish police demolished the last student encampment in the world, located at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. The encampment was in solidarity with Palestine and was one of the longest in history, lasting 192 days before being demolished by the authorities. Its end came after the Swedish Liberal Party applied for permission to hold a demonstration at the same location as the encampment. Ironically, their demonstration was in support of “freedom of speech and the right to protest,” a glaring example of hypocrisy, as they sought to remove the students’ encampment—a peaceful form of expression—to make room for their own. The students attempted to resist the police by chaining themselves together in protest, but the police arrested several of them during the intervention. This action represents a continued violation of students’ rights across the country and clearly demonstrates where the Swedish government stands. It also reaffirms their complicity in the ongoing genocide through their support of the terrorist-state Israel. Despite the demolition, the students’ demands remain firm: to end all collaborations with the terrorist state of Israel.
The rectorate of the @university_of_copenhagen has ordered police repression on us students and our peaceful indoor encampment for academic boycott. Even with 600 university staff members demanding academic boycott as well as the protection of the student activists, the rectorate continues to enforce repression and unsafety. We will continue to demand the implementation of academic boycott.
