ABOUT THE ORGANISERS!

FOR A LIVING PLANET: The climate is a matter of justice. Climate change and environmental degradation are already affecting large parts of the world's population. Women generally contribute less to climate change than men, but are often the ones most affected. High-income countries bear the great responsibility for climate change. We see how ideals of constant growth and man's self-imposed right to exploit nature have led to rising temperatures that threaten all life on earth. We need to act before it is too late - it requires a radical transition to a society where man lives without exceeding the planet's resources. Food sovereignty and small-scale must go before large-scale agricultural standards. The rights of nature and indigenous peoples must be safeguarded in front of the extractive industry. Transports must be via train and public transport instead of air, car or truck. The principle should always be that those who pollute most should pay the most. A feminist climate policy is based on justice, global solidarity and respect for all life on earth. Feminist initiative wants:

That the EU should be driving in that global greenhouse gas emissions should be zero by 2038
That the EU has a coordinated train, signal and booking system throughout Europe and support for night trains
That the EU should greatly accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy system with a focus on renewable energy
That the EU's agricultural support should be directed towards substantial conversion, for ecology, small-scale and food sovereignty where vegetables are grown for humans and not for the meat industry
That the EU should demand from the Member States that they have ethical and sustainable farming, fishing and animal keeping

Feminist Initiative (F!), grew from a grass roots movement to be the first party to enter the European Parliament on a feminist ideological ticket as champions of human rights.

We hope you can join us on the 24th wherever you are!
