The cop 15 comes to an end - and it has not coped with what politicians
promised. There is no treaty that might preserve us from the catastrophic
consequences of runaway climate change. The summit's agenda didn't even
include real solutions to the climate crisis - such as tackling economic
growth, leaving fossile fuels in the ground and implementing food
souverainity. Neither has it adressed the ecological debt the global north
has with the south or measures for a just transition towards a low carbon
economy and society.
Furthermore, critics and adversairies of the climate politics carried
forward by the industrialized nations, market-based false solutions as
carbon offsetting and emissions trading have suffered from a whol array of
repression: Delegates from the civil society have been excluded from the
process, some of them beaten up by the police when trying to join the
peoples assembly for climate justice outside the Bella Center.
Demonstrations have been cattled, attacked with tear-gas, pepper-spray and
batons, more than 1.500 climate activists have been arrested over the past
two weeks. Some of them are still in jail - those and others, including
spokespeople for climate justice action are now facing trials for taking a
role in our common struggle for climate justice.
We neither accept the results of this summit nor the repression our friends
and comrades are facing - and that is why we will be on the streets again
on friday (18th dec):
peaceful solidarity march from Israels Place near Norreport station (15:00)
to Slodsplads (Christiansborg)
Join in and bring your friends along!
