🚨 New Blog Post Alert 🚨 After the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan in 2021, Afghan women and girls are yet again facing severe restrictions on basic human rights, such as the rights to work, education, and freedom of movement.

In our blog post, in addition to discussing further about how the Taliban is committing egregious human rights violations, we also look into what actions are being taken to stand up against those human rights abuses.

🛑New Blog Post Coming Soon🛑 “It is a grave and worsening injustice that the impacts of climate change are felt the most by those people who are least responsible for rising carbon emissions and global temperatures.

Without justice, we will not have a fair, healthy and peaceful world. And without climate justice, we risk not even having a liveable planet for future generations.” - Mary Robinson 

This year alone, numerous extreme weather events have been taking place around the world including the heatwaves in Europe, North America, Asia, the wildfires in Canada, Greece, Hawaii, the floodings in Norway, China and the droughts in South Sudan to name a few.   

The intensity and frequency of those extreme weather events are attributed to climate change mainly caused by human activities and will only keep rising if left unaddressed. Thus, the fight for climate justice has become even more crucial. 

What is key in achieving climate justice is to implement the solutions which will help eradicate the harmful effects of climate change to those who have contributed the least to climate change (for example: countries in the Global South, Indigenous Peoples, etc…), but are disproportionately affected by it. 

On September 1, our climate justice action guide 🌍🌱✊ will be published! Be sure to check it out to enrich your knowledge on this pressing issue, discover the different ways you can play a role in ending climate injustice, and much more!

There is a lot to unpack about the current Brazilian elections, but the missing ingredient from the current narrative is the role of hope. 

Taken from our October 2018 post, “The surge of corruption scandals instigated by almost all political parties embedded this discredit in politicians. This discredit is natural, but there are also elements of false hope in both groups that, unless surpassed, will maintain Brazil in its democracy crisis…It is necessary for both extremes to abandon their false hopes and blind optimism, and move towards critical hope.”

Take a look at our blog post as we discuss how past and current populist rhetoric is a threat not only to democracy but to critical hope and liberation.
