The ecological collapse is here, still the EU is not acting.
The time for denial is over!
1⃣ Implement legislation against #ecocide asap and make environmental destruction a crime!
2⃣ Cancel trade deals that destroy the environment!
3⃣ Shift to sustainable agriculture, by reducing livestock and promoting plant-based diets!
4⃣ Design a plan to restore our ecosystems all over Europe.
5⃣ A global #DebtForClimate initiative to leave fossil fuels in the ground, while freeing the Global South from the debt burden!
We are here because the Global North is driving our planet into a collapse.
The biodiversity catastrophe is as dangerous as the climate crisis, but nobody pays attention to it.

In 2019 the EU Parliament declared the climate emergency, but since then we see more deadly politics.
❌Governments keep paying destructive fossil fuels
❌they let Big Agriculture destroy our soils
❌trees are burned for #FakeRenewables
❌EU allows the destruction of ocean life
#CriminaliseEcocide
#Ecocide is a crime against humanity. The companies and CEOs that destroy our oceans, land and soil need to go to prison.
It's absurd that the EU still has no law criminalizing mayor environmental destruction!

@ChitDubey's statement 🔽
#ExtinctionRebellion demands that the European Parliament acts now and passes a law against #Ecocide,
declaring it a 5th crime alongside genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression.

Columbian Indians:
We are fighting for survival against powerful opponents: the economic model of unlimited growth and the "development policy" of IMF, Worldbank and EU causes the death of indigenous people, climate crisis and mass extinction.
We need a radical system change!

The global North is not only responsible for 500 year of exploitation, but also has hist. responsibility for the climate crisis. Debt policy of IMF & World Bank forces the Global South to extract fossil fuels. Climate and debt crises can only be solved together.

Oil production by multinationals like Exxon cause immense environmental damage in my home country Greece. The EU promotes this criminal activity and continues to adhere to the paradigm of boundless growth.
This is neo-colonialism!
