Urušavanje sustava i izbor budućnosti
Na djelu je bitka za budućnost između fosilne industrije i održivosti planete i ljudi na njemu. Ratna stanja su idealna za profitabilnosti industrije na izdisaju, jer će povećati potrošnju fosilnih goriva, prebaciti sredstva i investicije iz zelene tranzicije u vojnu industriju i promijeniti fokus građanske svijesti i akcije sa klimatskih promjena i zelene tranzicije na sigurnost i obranu.

At Half-time, the European Green Deal is Still Grounded
BRUSSELS, Jun 10 (IPS) - Jagoda Munic is Director, Friends of the Earth EuropeThis month marks the mid-point of the much-heralded European Green Deal. Taking office at the end of 2019, the European Commission went into rhetoric overdrive. This was Europe’s ‘man on the moon’ moment, we were told. The Green Deal would herald an economic paradigm shift, and “reconcile the economy with our planet…to make it work for our people” the new President, Ursula von der Leyen, said.
The EU’s “Green Deal” can’t be business as usual. Tackling the climate crisis must come first ǀ View
It’s time to call incremental change, when it comes to tackling our environmental and climate crises, dead. Plastic straw bans won’t cut it anymore – only a full-scale transformation of our economic system will do. That’s the urgent message of this week’s review of Europe’s environmental performance by the European Environment Agency (EEA) published on Wednesday.
UN’s latest stark climate report is proof the EU must end fossil fuel age
On Saturday, as top climate scientists were putting the final touches to the latest shattering UN report on climate science, thousands of people were protesting against the expansion of one of Europe’s biggest, dirtiest coalmines, writes Jagoda Munic. Jagoda Munic is director of Friends of the Earth Europe.
International Women's Day 2016 Statement
On International Women’s Day, 8th March 2016, we raise our voices in indignation at the brutal murder of our sister Berta Cáceres – indigenous Lenca leader, community organiser, grassroots feminist and environmental justice activist. Berta was murdered in her home in the Intibuca department, Honduras, early in the morning of the 3rd March, at the side of Mexican activist Gustavo Castro Soto from Otros Mundos / FOE Mexico, who was badly hurt by the same gunmen.
From Sustainable Development to Degrowth: Strategic Concepts in a Time of Downturn
When, in 1992, the first Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro (also known as The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development) took place, I was a 5-year-old boy enjoying a carefree life. Only five years earlier the famous Brundtland Report was released, a document which coined the term sustainable development and introduced it to the public discourse. As I imagine, the 172 delegates who attended the first Rio summit, as well as world public opinion, were full of hope at that time.
Friends of the Earth International statement of solidarity with refugees
On September 12, we are calling on people, civil society and governments to show solidarity and provide help and security to people in distress. In recent days we have seen a lot of refugees in Europe and the media in a frenzy about the "migrant crisis". While ordinary people are taking the lead to provide support, such as donations, solidarity marches and transport, the European press continues to brim over with half-baked xenophobic nonsense.
OPINION: Climate Justice Is the Only Way to Solve Our Climate Crisis
Jagoda Munic is Chairperson of Friends of the Earth International. Follow her on Twitter: @JagodaMunic LIMA, Dec 1 2014 (IPS) - In November, the world’s top climate scientists issued their latest warning that the climate crisis is rapidly worsening on a number of fronts, and that we must stop our climate-polluting way of producing energy if we are to stand a chance of avoiding the worst impacts of climate change. Science says that the risk of runaway climate change draws ever closer.
Transition Initiatives: a Critical Assessment
The world is currently facing two major issues, as identified by the scientific community: ‘peak oil’ and climate change. The former will impact the economic and institutional balance of countries that have based their economies on oil-derived products. The latter will undoubtedly impact the standard of living of the world population as a whole. In 2006, Rob Hopkins understood this duality and foresaw the stakes involved, and thus started the Transition Initiatives (TI).
