    From the Arctic to the Amazon, peaceful protests will continue

    Peaceful activism is vital when governments fail to respond to catastrophic climate change and nature destruction. Disproportionate responses are purely to intimidate people who stand up to companies and countries that are causing serious harm to our wellbeing, planet and future.

    Standing up to fossil fuel oppression with courageous resilient women

    I, being a woman and a mother, feel that strong connection to women in impacted communities. A woman represents to me - and I hope to you as well - the epitome of courage, strength, resilience and connectivity in society and the world. We are in this together!

    Victorine vs Shell: ‘From Cameroon to Germany, no-one is safe from climate destruction. It’s time for polluters to pay.’

    How many more people need to die or be displaced, and how much more of nature needs to be destroyed, before it's enough? Fossil fuel companies must stop drilling and start paying for the loss and damage they have caused.
