Fossil-Free Future and People over Greed
The climate crisis is here, and people are already suffering the consequences. Drilling and mining more gas, oil, and coal, and building more infrastructure, is an existential threat to our society and the nature that sustains it.
Fossil fuels put everyone’s safety at risk. In the European Union, the expansion of fossil gas infrastructure is a particular danger. Drilling for more gas and building new infrastructure will lock Europe into a toxic dependency and waste money on useless projects when we need to invest in real solutions. Europe’s over-reliance on fossil gas leads to rising energy bills, sickness, deaths, destruction of nature, and climate chaos. Fossil gas is a dirty, deadly fossil fuel like oil and coal. This is why the European Union and its member states must act now and #StopFossilGas and all other fossil fuel projects before it’s too late.
With this statement, Greenpeace launches it's focus on a fossil free future. Together with the 'people over greed' statement, this will be the focus for this years planning meeting, which takes place in Ghent, Timelab from 7-11 of October.
Do you have a sumup or partnermeeting planned in the future and are you looking for a place that embraces your mission on a better future? Timelab is the place you are looking for.
