Klimaat Actie Kamp 3-9 augustus 2009
Nederlands-Belgische grens - 23.03.2009 22:40
De klimaatswijziging is een feit. Maar hier is jouw kans om in actie
te schieten: het eerste Belgisch-Nederlands klimaatactiekamp vindt
plaats van 3 tot 9 augustus 2009!
Klimaat Actie Kamp 2009
In december 2009 komen regeringen van over de hele wereld in Kopenhagen
bijeen voor de vijftiende VN klimaatconferentie (COP-15). Eens te meer
beweren zij die het probleem creëerden dat ze ook over oplossingen
beschikken: emissiehandel, zogenaamd ‘groene’ steenkool, meer
kernenergie, biobrandstoffen, zelfs een ‘groene new deal.’ Maar dit zijn illusies,
geen oplossingen!
Het klimaatactiekamp is een plaats voor mensen die verder willen kijken
dan die illusies, en creatief in actie willen schieten. Het is een plaats
voor directe actie, educatie en uitwisseling. Het kamp is gebaseerd op
zelforganisatie via consensus. We willen het zo koolstofneutraal als
mogelijk maken.
Iedereen is welkom! Het kamp is een kans om bij te leren, en zelf jouw
manieren te vinden om bij te dragen aan de strijd tegen
klimaatswijziging.
Doe mee! Kom naar het kamp, of nog beter, engageer je al tijdens het
voorbereidingsproces. Wij zijn allemaal vrijwilligers, en alle hulp is
welkom. Contacteer ons: info@klimaatactiekamp.org

Climate Action Now!
Belgian/Dutch Climate Action Camp
August 3-9 2009, near Antwerp
On November 30th, 2009 the governments of the world will come to Copenhagen for the fifteenth UN Climate Conference (COP-15). This will be the biggest summit on climate change ever to have taken place. Yet, previous meetings have produced nothing more than business as usual.
Once again, the people who created the problem are telling us they also have the solutions: carbon trading, so-called "clean coal," more nuclear power, agrofuels, even a "green new deal." But these are not real solutions, they are neoliberal illusions. It is time to move beyond these illusions.
There are alternatives to the current course that is emphasising false solutions and market-based approaches. If we put humanity before profit and solidarity above competition, we can live amazing lives without destroying our planet. We need to leave fossil fuels in the ground. Instead, we must invest in community-controlled renewable energy. We must stop over-production for over-consumption. All should have equal access to the global commons through community control and sovereignty over energy, forests, land and water. And of course we must acknowledge the historical responsibility of the global elite and rich Global North for causing this crisis. Equity between North and south is essential.
It is with all this in mind that environmental organisations, youth groups, community organisations and individuals from throughout Belgium and the Netherlands have come together to create this summer's Camp for Climate Action. Taking inspiration from both the UK and German climate camps, our camp will be a week-long event focusing on education, direct action, carbon-neutral living and movement building. This is our way of building a climate justice movement capable of tackling the root causes of climate change.
We want the camp to be as inclusive as possible and we are reaching out to all those who share our vision. The camp is a place for anyone who's fed up with empty government rhetoric and corporate spin; for anyone who's worried that the small steps they're taking aren't enough to match the scale of the problem; for anyone who thinks present climate policies are only increasing inequalities and injustices; and for anyone who's worried about our future and wants to do something about it. It is not only a place for experienced activists, but also for all those who are interested, who want to learn more, and are looking for ways to become active.
Get involved! Come to the camp, or, even better, join in the preparation process. We are all volunteers and all help is welcome. Whatever your background, there is a role for you.
