*[Enwl-eng] WATCH: Our 2020 in a video

[ENWL]

What a year this has been. A lot of what we think is “normal” has been challenged by the pandemic. Our trust has been shaken, our values have been reviewed, we have grieved for our friends and families. 

And yet, during this past year, we have managed to regroup and act. From building a coalition demanding a Just Recovery and standing with movements seeking racial justice, to stopping fossil fuel projects and passing climate-friendly legislation, our movement around the globe is as strong as ever.

Watch where we are at with our inspiring movement here: 



Vladimir, here are some inspiring highlights from around the world:

  a.. People in Europe put banks funding fossil fuels in the spotlight, and a call for green recovery on the table. European institutions cut their ties with the fossil fuel industry and their supporters, and reviewed sponsorship programs.


  b.. Indigenous led, people powered movement stopped the largest tar sands mine in Canada's history. 


  c.. Public finance institutions in South Africa withdrew its support for the Thabametsi coal plant project and it got cancelled.


  d.. Judges ruled out coal extraction from a pit near indigenous land in Brazil. 


  e.. A bank in New Zealand cut its ties with coal, oil, and gas companies and became Fossil Free — even refusing to take fossil fuel companies on as customers!


  f.. People all over the world pushed a big Japanese coal lender bank out of a United Nations’ fund meant to support developing countries in addressing climate change impacts.


  g.. We joined forces with Climate Strikers and supported and empowered youth activists groups all over the world,


  h.. And just last week, we saw the result of 8 years campaigning in collaboration with people-led groups and coalitions: the biggest pension fund in the world, New York State’s $225 billion fund, committed to a broad climate action plan including fossil fuel divestment. 
2020 has shown us that when we stand together, we are powerful. And we’re all geared up for 2021. 

Next year, the global 350.org community is doubling down on our goal to end fossil finance. No money to fossil fuels means no new dirty projects, less pollution, and a real chance to prevent further climate disasters. It also means a real opportunity to do things differently and invest instead in a liveable future, and a just recovery from the pandemic.

As these plans take shape, let’s celebrate people’s resilience and victories throughout 2020. Watch and share the video.

May the year ahead be full of more victories, for each and all of us, and for the planet.


In solidarity,
Edu and the 350.org team
