Happy Earth Day everyone! The world has changed a lot in the past few weeks, and this means the climate movement has had to change too. Mobilizations and climate strikes have had to be cancelled, meetings are being moved online and campaigns are being put on hold. It is vitally important to take urgent action to slow the spread of the corona virus, in order to protect those most vulnerable in our society and to avoid massive hospitalization.
The climate crisis does not take a break even during the pandemic. Earth has already heated up by more than one degree Celsius. The catastrophic consequences for millions of people worldwide can no longer be overlooked. Therefore, commitment to better climate protection is necessary – and possible – even in times of Corona!
There are many things we can do from home, to demonstrate solidarity, fight for justice, and to keep the global climate movement strong. It is high time for online demonstrations!
