Verspreid de boodschap in je netwerk, of je nu zelf (nog) bij het ABP pensioen opbouwt of ontvangt of niet: ABP moet breken met BlackRock!

Wij gaan weg bij Big Tech! Het afgelopen jaar zijn we bezig geweest met een plan om weg te gaan bij Big Tech. Wat zijn onze overwegingen en waar stappen we naar over?

Lees meer over onze overwegingen om weg te gaan bij Big Tech en waar we naartoe gaan switchen in onze blog 👇

It's time for ABP to say bye-bye to BlackRock #GoFossilfree

Join this @fossielvrijnl.bsky.social webinar to learn how you can contribute to this purpose!

A bleached coral reef where most corals have lost their colour due to the high sea water temperature but are not yet dead. The coral tissue has become transparent and the underlying white calcium skeleton shines through the transparent tissue. The longer such bleaching lasts, the more coral will die.

We’ve pushed coral reefs to the brink with warming, pollution and over-fishing. Saving them now means crossing the tipping point — in reverse.

GEEN nieuw vliegveld in een klimaatcrisis. ❌✈️ Genoeg is genoeg. ✋

Middenin een klimaatcrisis een nieuw vliegveld openen? Dat is vliegen richting de afgrond. Vind jij ook dat Lelystad Airport nooit open mag? Teken de petitie > doemee.greenpeace.nl/actie/zet-ee...

This is such sad news.

Uitstekend opinieartikel van Guus Dix en Sander Otte: "wat als universiteitsbestuurders een keer uit eigen beweging de academische medeplichtigheid aan klimaatverandering beëindigen"?

Het nieuwe regeerakkoord is allesbehalve een stap riching een duurzame toekomst. Sterker nog, het draait zo'n toekomst de rug toe, met on-duurzame en niet-vernieuwbare energie en het openstellen van Lelystad Airport.

📌 other industries need to become more sustainable

📌 new, green industries need to be stimulated

The Dutch Scientific Climate Council @klimaatraad.bsky.social @heleendeconinck.bsky.social published their report "Kiezen of verliezen" on NL industry this week. Its main take-aways:

📌 current #climate policy is not sufficient to reach climate targets

📌 it's impossible to "have it all" in a...

Je wil dit toch niet geloven: Lelystad Airport gaat open voor civiel gebruik en voor groothandelsverkeer; met 10.000 vliegbewegingen en Schiphol krijgt alle ruimte.

Weten we nog dat Remkes.zei:"niet alles kan". Nou, hoe rechtser hoe meer er kan. De rekening is voor later(re geslachten).

Court Rules Trump Administration’s Secret “Climate Working Group” Violated Federal Law Court declared today that the Trump administration violated federal law when it secretly formed the “Climate Working Group” and tasked it with writing a dangerously slanted report used as the basis fo...

A big win today: a federal court found that the Trump administration’s sham report attacking climate science was created in secret by a hand-picked set of climate policy opponents, violating the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Read our statement here:

See you tonight!

This evening (29 Jan) at 20:00 CET, I will host a @scientists4future.nl webinar by Jeroen Oomen, to discuss his new book Captured Futures - the drama of environmental politics.

Join us tonight scientists4future.nl/en/events (recording will be shared on YouTube after)!

Overwinning voor het klimaat, maar tegelijkertijd een veeg teken dat de politiek onwillig is om de mensheid (ja, grote woorden passen hier) te redden van groot leed.

Het is wéér de rechter die orde op zaken stelt - de meest betrouwbare pilaar van de samenleving, mogen we wel zeggen.

...to raise attention to their campaign (together with the Vegan Student Association) for a #PlantBased university.

The action was a success:
✅120 pumpkins were handed out within an hour
✅a lot of signatures were collected for our petition!

Stay tuned for the rest of the campaign!

Today the Radboud University S4F/@scientistrebellion.nl team had a pumpkin action where they handed out free pumpkins bought from a local farmer with a pumpkin glut (see also nowastearmy.nl).

11/ Treating this report as a turning point doesn’t just misunderstand history

It lets power off the hook by implying the problem was *who* was speaking, rather than what interests were being protected

We’ve had warnings, from scientists, environmentalists, & security analysts for a long time!

Biodiversity collapse threatens UK security, intelligence chiefs warn Ecosystem destruction will increase food shortages, disorder and mass migration, with effects already being felt

You may’ve seen coverage of a new report on the threat to national security from environmental collapse.

A common response that’s got my goat is: “Look, it’s not just tree-hugging enviros saying this, it’s hard-nosed spooks!”

A short thread on why this framing is bad history & bad politics🧵😡😉

*ONDERZOEK*

Wij zijn ervan overtuigd dat anderen meer risico lopen om getroffen te worden door klimaatrampen. Zelf zal ons dat niet zo snel
overkomen.

Dat is de uitkomst van een groot onderzoek dat is gedaan door een team psychologen.

Deze hersenkronkel is sterker in Europa dan in Azië.

Which option do we choose - act or delay?

These are the 'warning' stripes highlighting global choices. Do we act rapidly and keep global temperatures below 2°C, or delay and end up in a 3°C world (or worse)?

Here’s the global playbook being used to crack down on climate protest A new study finds that repression of environmental protest is rising worldwide and Indigenous land defenders face the greatest risk.

New study just out finds “efforts to repress climate and environmental protest are growing worldwide through a combination of new legislation, novel uses of existing legal processes, police actions, vilification of activists and both violence and killings.”

So little was known 18 years ago when I started researching climate comms. I'm blown away by how much we now know. This study, led by the incomparable Jan Voelkel with his all-star band, and released today in @natclimate.nature.com confirms that many distinct message strategies can work...
