Greenpeace activists and volunteers joined the lively celebrations Saturday, June 28, during the annual “LoveLaban” Pride Festival at UP Diliman Campus in Quezon City.
The environmental organization was there to celebrate pride and courage for the environment, to highlight the intersection of queer rights and climate justice, and protest the lack of accountability for those who contribute most to climate disasters: giant oil and gas corporations. Meanwhile, the vulnerabilities of marginalized communities are magnified by extreme weather events, such as when queer individuals are deprived of basic recovery services because of their sexual orientation or gender identities.
This is the fourth year in a row Greenpeace Philippines joined the biggest Pride event in Southeast Asia. This year, the group enjoined LGBTQIA+ advocates and allies to lend their voices to global calls for governments to make polluting corporations pay, through Greenpeace’s worldwide signature collection drive, the Polluters Pay Pact.
The pact, which brings together calls from climate-impacted communities and concerned citizens worldwide, is a global bid to make those in power realize that people, especially those who experience discrimination and prejudice, have been paying the highest price from the effects of climate change phenomena that they have had little do with. Greenpeace believes that it is the large corporate fossil fuel industry which has to pay for the financial, emotional, health, and cultural damage caused by climate change—and that those most affected by the crisis should be at the forefront of this movement for justice.
