The fight for climate justice and peace in the DR Congo (DRC) is forced to the sidelines in Western climate movements. However, their stories are intricately linked with ours: Without justice in the DRC, there can be no transition to clean energy. Without solidarity with our Congolese comrades, we miss seeing the bigger picture. And solidarity starts here in our country: European companies such as Glencore directly take part in the illegal mining in the DRC, fueling the genocidal M23 in exchange for profit. In this workshop, climate justice activists from the DR Congo (DRC) will share their stories of local and global climate justice and peace activism. They mount large campaigns resisting against massive oil and gas auctions and against the brutal exploitation of their minerals. Also European and German companies such as Siemens or „Total“ expand their fossil exploitation in Africa and therefore further escalate the climate crisis. At the same time, these drc climate justice activists work directly with affected communities, planting trees with school classes and providing support to victims of sexualized violence. You're invited to listen and reflect on how their experience can inform your own climate justice advocacy. You will get a chance to exchange with others about decolonial international activism and international solidarity.
