Forest destruction leads to a climate emergency. It is an issue with far-reaching effects that go beyond the Amazon forest in Brazil and the jungles of Indonesia.
Southeast Asia has now become the preferred dumping ground of richer nations. We want ASEAN leaders to ban all imports of plastic waste and address the region's growing plastic pollution.
From overfishing to deep seabed mining, to climate change to plastic- the ocean is under attack from all sides and it needs our help to protect it.
This is where you come in. If you want a green and just world, we’ll march alongside you. If you’ve got ideas for how to get there, we want to learn from you. Let’s dream together, plan together and act together.
Be the changeImagine a world where forests flourish and oceans are full of life. Where energy is as clean as a mountain stream. Where everyone has security, dignity and joy. We can’t build this future alone, but we can build it together.
