*[Enwl-eng] message of hope from the frontlines of the climate crisis

[ENWL]

Hope is with us if we join the people at the front, fighting for a better 
world. Watch and share this story.
Hi,

COP26 has come to an end. We heard pledges of coal phase outs and ending 
fossil fuel finance. Pledges are good, but action is better: people across 
the world are already struggling with the impacts of the crisis and every 
second the world leaders delay action, the crisis deepens.

Last week, I visited Konya - a historical city and a home of whirling 
dervishes in Central Anatolia in Turkey - and witnessed the impact of the 
crisis with my own eyes. Once known as the “granary of Turkey”, the fertile 
lands of Konya are under threat from drought. As if this is not enough, coal 
extraction is busy destroying the agricultural lands, basins, and 
livelihoods of communities in Konya.

Throughout my trip, I followed news from Glasgow but the fancy words of 
politicians fell too short to grasp the destruction in the middle of 
Anatolia. I kept asking myself “is it still possible to hope?”

The answer is yes.

Watch a story of hope, told from the middle of Anatolia:

Hope is in the eyes of young people, climate activists, and dreamers filling 
the streets of Glasgow and public spaces all around the world.

Hope is with the frontline communities across the world rising up for a 
fossil free future.

And hope is with us if we join the people at the front, fighting for a 
better world.

No matter how much the darkness surrounds us, as long as we continue to 
fight, as long as we keep up the pressure, there is hope. Because we are 
hope.

Share the hope.


In solidarity,

Efe
