“The rubber-stamping of such a project sends a message not just to our generation but humanity as a whole: The future of our planet & the present well-being of frontline communities are being sacrificed for short-term economic gain & political expediency.”

I don’t know what is scarier, the fact that atmospheric CO2 just hit the highest level in human history, or that it has gone close to completely unnoticed… twitter.com/CO2_earth/stat…

Climate strike week 243. Today I’m striking outside Sweden’s Representation in the EU, in Brussels. My home country Sweden currently holds the presidency of the Council of the EU. Next week ministers will gather in Sweden to discuss forestry, among other things. Thread🧵

The Swedish forestry model has been proven to be disastrous for both the climate, environment and Sámi indigenous- and human rights. We cannot let Sweden further impact the EU’s forest policies.
956
Sweden’s ever expanding forestry has been criticised by the scientific community, indigenous Sámi villages as well as the climate- and environmental movement. The country and its industries often claim that we have record amount of forests.
957
While we have many trees in plantations aimed to be cut down, monocultural plantations are not forests. We’re losing the last remaining natural forests, which are invaluable for carbon sinks, biodiversity and human rights.
We need to #StopExpansionStartRestoration #ClimateStrike

Humanity is moving further and further into unchartered territory for us. This in itself is unprecedented, but what is even more unprecedented is the speed at which it's happening. And we keep accelerating.
In other words; join the climate justice movement. twitter.com/co2_earth/stat…
