Today on #IntlForestDay 24 NGOs and 44 indigenous communities send an open letter telling the EU to unite behind the science, remove forest biomass from the Renewable Energy Directive and protect EU’s natural forests to keep the carbon in the forests.

It's very hopeful to see how far and wide this text has spread! Imagine if we for once actually listened to what scientists say, rather than just repeat phrases like "listen to the science" while still primarily listening to companies and billionaires. Just imagine.

"There's a perspective that humans did this damage and it's our job to fix it ... Another view is that forest restoration is fundamentally natural, and that humans can assist it, but ultimately it should be governed by natural processes."

It would be very interesting to see this from a (rough) per capita perspective, of course including consumption if possible.

But if current trends continue and the #cop26 has to be delayed that doesn’t mean we have to delay the urgent action required.
We don’t have to wait for conferences nor anyone or anything else to dramatically start reducing our emissions. Solidarity and action can start today.

A new CO2 budget created by scientists from Uppsala University and WWF shows that, if Sweden is to fulfill our part of the Paris Agreement, our emissions need to reduce more than 20% - already this year...

Demonstration 1a Oktober kl 13 på Medborgarplatsen.
Vi kan inte vara neutrala när politiken sätter liv på spel. Makthavare sparkar neråt, marginaliserade grupper görs till syndabockar. Gör motstånd. Stå upp för antifascism, antirasism och klimaträttvisa.

In the EU many are frustrated about the slow speed of vaccinations. And that’s very understandable. But why is no one talking about the aspect of equity? And why can we never see the whole picture?
We can of course not solve these global crises we face without global cooperation.

The EUs so called "55% reduction target by 2030" has got nothing to do with a real 55% emission reduction.
Our article from October explains why all the proposed EU targets are far from being in line with the #ParisAgreement

If you can’t see that “net zero targets” risk leading to these things, then you either don’t understand the problem or you have a very clear agenda.
The problem is of course not the “net zero targets” themselves, but that they’re being used as excuses to postpone real action.
