Eight days of low-impact liv­ing, debates, learn­ing skills, and high-impact direct action tack­ling the root caus­es of cli­mate change. Why?

The sci­ence is clear: glob­al emis­sions of car­bon diox­ide must go into rapid decline with­in the next decade. If they don’t, human­i­ty faces a bleak future.

To achieve this in a way that respects glob­al jus­tice means 90% cuts in devel­oped coun­tries like the UK. How will we cut emis­sions and end inequal­i­ty? How will we achieve this in the face of an eco­nom­ic sys­tem intent on expand­ing at any cost, with cor­po­ra­tions steal­ing the lan­guage of change to dis­guise busi­ness as usu­al? Ordi­nary peo­ple will have to join togeth­er to cre­ate real solu­tions and take direct action against the root caus­es of the prob­lem.

This year the Camp for Cli­mate Action will be at Heathrow, the world’s busiest air­port and a big­ger source of CO2 emis­sions than most coun­tries. It’s sheer luna­cy in this time of eco­log­i­cal cri­sis, but the avi­a­tion indus­try are push­ing to almost dou­ble the air­port’s capac­i­ty by increas­ing flights and build­ing a third run­way. The bat­tle to stop them will be one of the most impor­tant envi­ron­men­tal bat­tles in West­ern Europe.

What we do now decides what the future holds. Those who came before us didn’t know the prob­lem, those who come after us will have severe­ly lim­it­ed options. We have both the pow­er and the respon­si­bil­i­ty to make a rad­i­cal­ly bet­ter world.

By unit­ing in col­lec­tive action this sum­mer we can begin to make it hap­pen.
