Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

📣 Register here! shorturl.at/ggEiL

A truly global Just Transition cannot happen without confronting the fundamental injustice at the heart of today’s global economy: that most countries lack the public resources and the policy autonomy to protect their people or reimagine their economies in the face of climate disaster. Countries in the Global South - already facing climate impacts they did not cause - are forced to choose between protecting their people or servicing debt.

In Mulevala province in Mozambique, the Missao Tabita organisation led school visits for environmental education as part of the Global Week of Action to Draw The Line. There were workshops and activities on the environment and climate including theatre, games, and arts activities about caring for the earth.

In Freetown, Sierra Leone, the Thondor Foundation, in partnership with African Rising, hosted a dynamic discussion with Wesleyan Centennial Secondary School Kamasasa pupils during the Global Week of Action on Climate Action.
