2023 was the hottest year ever recorded. Climate disasters, wars, oppression and inequalities further intensified – killing and displacing countless people. 2023 was yet another year where people in power fought to maintain their violent business as usual by using dangerous lies, hate speech and greenwashing. There seem to be no limits to the lengths they go to defend the exploitation of people and planet for their own gains and profits. They ignore the science as well as the screams of their own children and the most affected people. All this while many environmental defenders and activists were killed.
But 2023 was also a year when people once again filled the streets, resisted, defended their lands and fought for their rights and freedom. It was a year where many showed global solidarity and stood united in the fight for climate justice. Activists are as needed as ever, even though we are experiencing increased repression all over the world. We are exhausted, but we are also full of love and rage.
We cannot allow things to continue like this. Let’s make 2024 a year of mobilisation, solidarity and accountability.

School strike week 251. Today, I graduate from school, which means I’ll no longer be able to school strike for the climate. So for me this is the last school strike, so I guess I have to write something on this day.
When I started climate striking, in August 2018, I could never have expected that it would actually lead to anything. After striking every day for three weeks, we were a small group of children who decided to continue doing this every Friday. And we did, which is how Fridays For Future was formed. Some more people joined, and quite suddenly this was a global movement growing every day. During 2019, millions of youth striked from school for the climate, flooding the streets in over 180 countries. When the pandemic started, we had to find new ways to protest. With time, we started to get back on the streets again. We are still here, and we are not planning on going anywhere.
So much have changed since we started, and yet we have so much further to go. We are still moving in the wrong direction, where those in power are allowed to sacrifice the most marginalised and affected people as well as the planet in the name of greed, profit and eternal economic growth. They are continuing to destabilise the biosphere and our life supporting systems, and we are rapidly approaching potential nonlinear ecological and climatic tipping points beyond human control. And in so many parts of the world, we are even speeding up the process. There are probably many of us who graduate who now wonder what kind of future it is that we are stepping into, even though we did not cause this crisis.
Those of us who can speak up have a duty to do so. Everyone counts. In order to change everything, we need everyone. Of course I’ll continue to protest on Fridays, even though it’s no longer technically school striking. We simply have no other option than to do everything we possibly can. The fight has only just begun. #FridaysForFuture #SchoolStrike4Climate #ClimateStrike Parliament House, Stockholm

Today, for the third day in a row, young activists from @tatillbakaframtiden have blocked oil tankers in the Malmö oil harbour. The climate crisis is already a matter of life and death for countless people. We choose to not be bystanders, and instead physically stop the fossil fuel infrastructure. We are reclaiming the future. #TaTillbakaFramtiden Malmö, Sweden

Climate strike week 279. #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike @fridaysforfuture.stockholm Parliament House, Stockholm
Week 253. Today we are protesting and striking in Paris, during the Summit for a New Global Financial Pact hosted by Macron. We need a clear vision and concrete milestones for reforming the global financial systems so that they prioritise people and planet. Polluters must pay, and we need to stop fossil financing and rapidly scale up renewable energy. We need to fund losses and damages for those affected by the climate crisis and cancel the debt crisis for countries in the global south, as reparations for historic exploitation and to make a sustainable transition possible for everyone. This is after all about people. We need fundamental reforms, not just easy wins. #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike

Week 252. Today activists have been blocking the Swedish government’s “climate meeting”, where they have invited Sweden’s biggest polluters, but not climate scientists, youth and environmental- and climate movements. We need people in and polluters out! #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike #TomorrowIsTooLate
Today marks the 600th day since the Supreme Court ruling! Despite the apologies from the Norwegian government, there has been taken no serious action to solve the human rights violations. Apologies with no actions are simply empty words. We demand them to take down the wind turbines and restore and return the land to fosen sámis. Join us today, and share to help us spread awareness! Stortinget

Only a week ago I was in Paris at the shareholder meeting of the French Oil company total to let them know they need to stop EACOP because youth from around the world are watching their actions, not their words. Their words are meaningless.
This week we bring the same message to the biggest German bank behind Total, Postbank and its mother company Deutsche Bank. The headquarter of Postbank is in Bonn, just 900 meters away from the UN conference center where diplomats forge initiatives to stop the climate crisis from escalating. The distance from those who finance the burning of fossil fuels, the destructions of lives and livelihoods, of future and present and those who try to stop the worst from happening could not be bigger. And yet they are only a walk in the park away.
We ask a simple question: How do we expect the world to stop digging up new gas and oil if not even the French oil company is ending exploration of new fossil fuels? Another question, how do we expect the UN conference to agree on a full fossil fuel phase out if extraction is still being financed?
We demand two simple steps: Stop Total from building most symbolic pipeline in the world – EACOP in Uganda and Tanzania. And end all new oil and gas exploration around the world, in line with the
@IEA Net Zero scenario and @fbirol call for: “no new oil and gas”. Pics: @mariejacquemn Bonn, Germany

Why should you support the #FossilFuelTreaty?
Hear it straight from climate justice activists @ericdnjuguna from Kenya and @gretathunberg from Sweden during the #BonnClimateConference.
We cannot afford any more delay. We need everything, everywhere, all at once to ensure a fast, fair and funded transition away from coal, oil and gas.
Endorse the #FossilFuelTreaty now.
