Does our scientific and moral responsibility extend beyond writing papers? How can we, as scientists, best react to our warnings being ignored? Such questions will be discussed in a workshop by Anne Baillot from Scientist Rebellion, tomorrow at SustainableICT Winter School in Brussels:

Protest hike to the World Economic Forum in Davos ❓ The WEF is a yearly gathering of political and business elites pursuing an agenda of unconstraint economic growth, irrespective of the fact that a number of planetary boundaries have already been breached, and mostly benefiting billionaires. 1/3

"Climate injustice persists as those least responsible often bear the greatest impacts, both between and within countries." While billionaires get richer, billions suffer, and many millions will likely lose their lives. WE ✊ NEED ✊ TO ✊ FIGHT ✊ THIS www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is so grim. Science isn’t just something nerds do, but the foundation of the modern world. What the Trump regime has done to US science will harm Americans for generations.

"The EU claims to be committed to the 1.5 °C target in the Paris Agreement. However, even with the lowest emission pathway, the EU is committing to 1.65 degrees, and that could even rise to 1.8 °C". www.scientistrebellion.nl/index.php/en...

"It’s far from unreasonable to expect scientists and the academic community to act in line with their own knowledge and warnings, and I think it’s fair to say that (like most other parts of society) academia isn’t responding robustly to a world that’s literally and metaphorically on fire."

This year has been brutal for the #climate movement. Rollbacks, repression, & outright denial, especially in the US, have made progress feel fragile & uneven. Which is exactly why it matters to pause & look back at what did move forward in 2025. Here are 12 real wins 🏆, one for each month 🧵⬇️

C'mon US climate scientists, I think you can do better than this Where are the rest of you? As the saying goes, *collective* action gets the goods

10 Jahre nach Paris – 1,5°C sind Geschichte Ob beim Trauermarsch in Berlin, beim Klima-Tauziehen in Hamburg oder bei einer Nighttrain-Aktion: Scientist Rebellion hat am Freitag mit anderen Gruppen protestiert – weil uns in der Klimakrise nicht stille Trauer, sondern nur kollektives Handeln hilft.

All welcome !

Last week, six French scientists stood trial in Munich for a peaceful protest action in 2022. While companies continue to profit off the destruction of our planet, scientists are prosecuted for alerting the public to the truth. Watch here the statement by Scientist Rebellion member Hugo Raguet:

"Science in Resistance" – Book presentation hosted by SR Switzerland Wednesday 26.11. 14:00–15:30 Dübendorf/Zurich Combining personal stories and research on direct action & academia, author Fernando Racimo explores the challenges scientists face when taking a stand for climate and social justice.

This is a remarkable paper on the climate-induced heatwave death in Europe and how they will increase in a warming world. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Singing "Dies Irae" from Verdi's requiem, with Scientifiques en Rebellion @scientifiquesenrebellion.fr and the fantastic Orchestre de Nouveau Monde orchestredunouveaumonde.fr was a perfect way to take notion of government and private sector inaction during the 10 years since the Paris Agreement.

What is our responsibility as scientists when our findings are ignored and our warnings disregarded? At the Public Forum, after several talks and discussion, we concluded: Given the scale and urgency of the climate crisis, „science as usual“ is not an option.

On Monday, scientists from @scientifiquesenrebellion.fr were on trial in Munich for a peaceful protest in 2022. Lauranne was acquitted, while Manua, Marceau, Hugo, Jerome & Sylvain were sentenced to hefty fines. The people and companies responsible for the ongoing ecocide continue to escape justice.

Appel à la solidarité ! 💓 Après 3 années de procès, 5 collègues qui avaient participé à des actions de désobéissance civile lors de la campagne de @scientistrebellion.bsky.social en Allemagne en 2022 ont été condamnés à 11 250 € d’amendes par la justice allemande. [1/3]

I was recently invited to present my thoughts on the role of universities in the #climate crisis Several audience members asked that I share my slides, so I've decided to post them here too as an open resource I'd love any feedback, & for you to share examples of projects & best practice. Long 🧵😊

Together with S4F_NL, we handed our climate petition to MPs ahead of the Klimaatmars in The Hague. Our call: stop new fossil projects and end fossil subsidies — now. 🌍✊ Thanks to PvdD, GL-PvdA, Volt & VredeVoorDieren for standing with us for real climate action. scientists4future.nl/nl/nieuws/be...

Future generations will look back in disbelief: We're witnessing the greatest catastrophe in human history unfold – fully knowing what's coming – and yet, most of us do nothing. Why are 𝘺𝘰𝘶 still silent, still sitting at home, when everything is at stake? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is not just about corals, it's about the ecosystems which keep humanity alive and whose collapse threatens billions of people. We have to fight to "avoid what we are now sure will be the unmanageable consequences of further tipping points in the Earth system” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The second Global Tipping Points Report has been launched today. Please see our press release here: www.leeds.ac.uk/news/article... Find the full report here: global-tipping-points.org @gsiexeter.bsky.social #TippingPoints #COP30

Much was discussed at the Scientists Responsibility Summit, but one thing became clear: We cannot let traditional notions of "academic neutrality" prevent us from fighting for truth and justice. "You go on with your science as usual. They go on with their business as usual."

Want to strengthen your skills as a climate justice activist? Together with @rebelionoextincion.bsky.social we’re offering 4 free online workshops this October & November. Open to aspiring & experienced activists alike. 💚
