Panel: Real climate justice vs false green solutions

by Global Aktion

*English below*

Der er mange undskyldninger for ikke at reducere vores udledninger, men hvad er egentlig konsekvenserne af denne tilgang til at håndtere klimakrisen? Hvordan påvirker det mennesker andre steder i verden, når store virksomheder køber aflad gennem skovplantningsprojekter? Eller når vind og sol stilles op på lokale folks land uden deres samtykke?

Mandag d. 13. maj kl. 18:00 inviterer Global Aktion til en panelsamtale om falske klimaløsninger og hvordan en reelt retfærdig omstilling faktisk ser ud. Det foregår i Solidarity Room på Fælledvej 12, 2200 Kbh N.

Panelet består af Uzna, Andile og Dany, som er repræsentanter for tre af Global Aktions partnerorganisationer, og som alle på forskellig vis arbejder med at engagere lokalsamfund i kampen for en retfærdig grøn omstilling. Læs mere om Uzna, Andile og Dany nedenfor.

*English*

There are many excuses for not reducing our emissions, but what are the actual consequences of this approach to the climate crises? How does it affect people around the world when large corporations buy carbon credits through tree planting projects? Or when solar and wind are constructed on indigenous peoples land without consent?

We’d love to see you at the panel debate 13th of May at 18 on false climate solutions and a just transition. It will be at Solidarity Room, Fælledvej 12, 2200 KBH N.
