World's Youth for Climate Justice (WYCJ)’s Post

✨ FEMINIST CLIMATE ACADEMY TRAINING WEEKEND 🌿 A few weeks ago, approximately sixty young feminists came together in Schoorl, the Netherlands, for the opening weekend of the 2024 Feminist Climate Academy (FCA)! The FCA is organised by ActionAid Nederland and partners WECF International, Het Lowlander Project, Nederland Maakt Impact, Pakhuis de Zwijger, and World's Youth for Climate Justice (WYCJ), as part of Maatschappelijke Diensttijd, and gives participants the opportunity take action for feminism and climate justice! During this training weekend, the participants got to know each other, including their action group with whom they will continue to work for the remainder of the programme on their own ideas for action! 💪 To prepare them for these actions, several experts from the organising organisations, including our own European Front coordinator Mert Kumru, gave workshops on feminism, intersectionalism, lobbying, campaigning and climate justice. 📅 Next week is the second session and the first physical one after the training weekend, and it's organised by World's Youth for Climate Justice! In this session, we will hear from speakers how they take action for climate justice in different ways, ranging from 'direct action' to politics or the courtroom. Can't wait to see you all again next week! ✨ #FCA2024 #feminisme #activisme #klimaat #ClimateJustice #OurFutureOurRights #ClimateAction

📢 Dear judges of the ICJ, please visit the #WitnessStand! Over the past few months, you may have seen here many statements from climate witnesses, people living on the frontline of the climate crisis who explain to the judges of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) exactly why a strong advisory opinion on human rights and climate change is necessary: basic human rights can no longer be guaranteed due to climate change, which can only solved by global climate action. 🌍💪 🌿 With the Witness Stand project, Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change, together with Interactive Media Foundation and in partnership with World's Youth for Climate Justice (WYCJ), have created a method to amplify the voices of these witnesses so that they are heard all over the world, including in The Hague where the advisory opinion public hearings will start in December of this year. A strong advisory opinion is only possible when the voices of youth, indigenous people, people living in the Global South and other marginalised groups are listened to in the courtroom, which this project enables. 🚀 View all videos of the Witness Stand now on https://lnkd.in/gDjrZhSf, and contribute to climate justice by making your own witness statement with the hashtag #ClimateWitness! Your story will become part of a global echo demanding action and be featured on the website's community wall. ✨ Become part of climate history, join the Witness Stand! #AOLetsGO #ICJAO #ICJAO4Climate #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ #ClimateChange #OurFutureOurRights #ClimateJustice

Melati’s message to the ICJ from Indonesia! 🔊 “It is your responsibility to protect our communities, so that our people don’t become climate refugees. It is not something that is happening in the near future. It is something that is happening right now.” ——————— The International Court of Justice is in the process of delivering a historic ruling on the impact of climate change, and the responsibility of states to act. For many communities around the world, the outcome of this ruling could be life saving. In the Witness Stand, communities share their personal stories, their lyrics, their culture, in the hope that the ICJ judges will better understand and feel what is on the line. Visit the Witness Stand website via the link in our bio to listen to more powerful voices from all over the world! Become part of the movement and record your own testimony using the Hashtag #ClimateWitness - and your story will become part of a global call for action! #ClimateWitness #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change Interactive Media Foundation Melati Wijsen YOUTHTOPIA

🚀 70 days left until the public hearings for the #ClimateICJAO start in The Hague!! ⚖🌍 The public hearings for the climate change advisory opinion (AO) are scheduled to start on December 2nd! Today, our campaigner Ecab Amor Vazquez explains in this one piece why the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) advisory opinion will be a defining moment in space and time, as a climate justice dream dreamt in the Pacific will become a reality in The Hague, and as we aim for justice for the generations that have suffered from climate change and for the generation that will be born in a world changed by the climate crisis. 💭 The Court has been asked to interpret international law on the topic of state obligations in the climate crisis. The resulting advisory opinion will be a document with great authority, and as such, a major opportunity to shape international law and create more climate action!

✨ 75 days left until the public hearings for the #ClimateICJAO start in The Hague!! ⚖🌍 The public hearings for the climate change advisory opinion (AO) are scheduled to start on December 2nd! As Prajwol Bickram Rana says, it is crucial for countries from the Global South to come to The Hague to remind the world of the climate catastrophes they are already facing. We call on these countries specifically to confirm to the ICJ before the deadline of 2 October that they want to make use of the opportunity to participate in the public hearings. 🏛 💭 The International Court of Justice has been asked to interpret international law on the topic of state obligations in the climate crisis.
