Why
COP29 is a climate cop-out! Three decades of negotiations in and the UN Conference of Parties (COP) is yet to produce any binding action to address the unfolding ecological collapse. This is not for a lack of paths forward but a fundamental unwillingness to intervene in the industries (and their profits) that are driving climate collapse.
From the 11th to 22nd of November, COP29 will be held in Azerbaijan - where fossil fuels make up 90% of the nation's exports. The UN summit occurs as ongoing ecocide across the globe sees countless extinctions of species. It occurs as forests are logged barren and islands go underwater. It occurs amidst the genocide in Gaza, in which human and non-human life is being desecrated and eradicated from existence. Land and waterways are violently conquered and stolen across the globe to resource the industries driving our demise.
The veil has worn thin - no more navel-gazing political elites, we need real climate action! It won't come from the boardrooms so we will bring it to the streets.
We are calling on YOU to join us as we call out the climate cop-out 11AM Saturday 16th Nov at Town Hall. We are welcoming all messaging that recognises the fact of ecological collapse and the interconnected struggles it creates and proliferates.
