There is no just transition without decolonization. There is no fossil fuel governance without supply-chain accountability. There is no climate justice without Palestinian liberation.

Civil society is already doing what states won't. While governments deliberate in Bonn, workers and movements are enforcing accountability on the ground.

Solidarity groups in South Korea and Scotland are leading a joint campaign, building grassroots power to end the complicity of Dana Petroleum-KNOC in Israel’s genocide, apartheid and illegal occupation. Join us as we demand Dana Petroleum – KNOC withdraw from this illegal consortium.

Germany pays 3.5€-6.5€ billion for Israel's Arrow3. Israel depleted theirs in war. Turns out, the U.S fired most interceptors. Germany can’t count on Arrow3. Suggestion: use the 6.5 billion for Germans, not Israelis. Defend Germany with peace. www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-used...

The BDS movement calls on the Irish public and civil society groups worldwide to escalate BDS now.

So what approach does the Irish government support? Rhetorical and performative gestures without any meaningful action.
