Unless those who are best placed to understand this crisis behave according to the emergency we live in, we cannot expect the public to do the same. The latest IPCC report notes “Any further delay in concerted action will miss a brief and rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a livable and sustainable future for all.” We believe that we must expose the reality and severity of the climate and ecological emergency through nonviolent direct actions, including civil disobedience.
In this Splinter meeting we would like to share how we work and what we do. After the wide interest for a similar event shown by EGU attendees, we are repeating this discussion session within the planetary science community. If you want to have a chat with some of us to see if this is a network you would like to join, feel free to stop by at this informative splinter meeting organized by EPSC participants who are also members of Scientist Rebellion.
