Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

Europe’s climate refugees: The Greek communities wiped off the map Villages in the country’s agricultural breadbasket lie half-abandoned two years after catastrophic floods.

Climate chaos doesn’t end when the floodwaters recede or the fires burn out.

Entire regions are scarred for years, families displaced, livelihoods destroyed.

Communities in Greece still live as climate refugees two years after Cyclone Daniel.

It’s time to #MakePollutersPay.

Europe is burning and we know who is to blame - the #fossil #fuels and their #lobbyists. This year, more than 2000 #wildfires burned through European #forests 🔥😣

🫵 Join our #campaign against the dirty lobbying in the European institutions.
