Digital #ClimateStrike is over – for now

This is an important note for all website hosters and bloggers who took part in the Digital #ClimateStrike. In January 2021, the website digital.globalclimatestrike.net announced that the domain where the digital strike widget was hosted (digitalclimatestrike.net) has been transferred and the content is no longer related to the climate strike campaign. This means that any content provided by this 3rd party host is not related to the campaign and should no longer be displayed.

If you still have the assets.digitalclimatestrike.net/widget.js script installed in your site please do remove it immediately.

If you have installed the WordPress plugin then you should remove it immediately too.

More than 10,000 websites joined the Digital #ClimateStrike. It was a huge success. The digital strike generated 38% of the traffic to the Global Climate Strike website on 20th September 2019, and inspired an additional 30,000 or more people to sign up for the Climate Strikes movement around the world. In Germany, the „Shutdown for Climate“ during the global climate strike day also had an enormous impact.

We think that the climate justice movement will have to rely on digital media as well as electronic means of communication and disruption for a while to come and really hope that the digital climate actions start again soon in one or the other way.
