Description/notes
Our goal is a more sustainable, just, and equal planet. We want forests and biodiversity to thrive, fossil fuels to stay in the ground and corporations to prioritize the interests of people and the planet.
We want justice for those disproportionately affected by the climate crisis: people in the global south, indigenous communities and communities of color, women, and younger generations. We want corporations to respect the planet and human rights, governments to protect and listen to their citizens, and the online world to be free from misinformation and hate.
