I have already introduced Extinction Rebellion and the Climate Crisis Coffee times they organize every Thursday, so no need to repeat.
During 1 hour this week, at Tampereen yliopiston Päätalo, luentosali A3, members of EX will give an overview of the climate change crisis problem, and then during another hour explain why nothing worked so far. They will introduce the audience to civil disobedience (and it can be a challenge in Finnish culture).
This movement has 3 goals: 1) make governments acknowledge the truth about climate change and tell people, 2) cut down the CO2 emissions in 2025 to the level of the emissions at the pre-industrial area, 3) cities and assemblies taking back the power to decide for themselves.
This lecture will be soon given in English as well. In the meantime, if you want to get familiar with this mouvement,watch Guardian’s environmental journalist George Monbiot in this talk given at Oxford in March 2019.
