This continues to change everything

from the This Changes Everything team:

Paris is over. But our efforts are not.  We closed out a huge year on the road with This Changes Everything in Paris for the climate talks and associated mobilizations. It was of course an intense period on the backdrop of the terror attacks and the French government’s ban on protest, but ultimately very inspiring as organizers and activists held marches and actions across the world calling for climate justice.   For an overview of what took place and the agreement itself you can take a look at this smart critique of mainstream media coverage of Paris from our team members Avi and Rajiv or Tyndall Centre’s Kevin Anderson and his take on Paris. There is a great summary of the enormous December 12th actions and if you really want to dig in John Foran has compiled a list of ‘33 of the best pieces on Paris COP21’ here. We always knew that the road to climate justice didn’t end in Paris and we encourage you to keep organising in 2016. You might find it useful to screen our film as a way to galvanize your community. You can book a screening via This Changes Everything website. We’re excited to let teachers and educators know we have released our official This Changes Everything study guide. The comprehensive guide comes with clips from the film and excerpts from the book, as well as hand out activities for each lesson. For full access please visit Ro*Co, our educational distributor. There are of course many more events and actions around the world to plug into - here are just a few; Climate Rising London: January 30 Climate Rising is the perfect opportunity to come together after the Paris climate talks and get energised to build a bigger and more diverse climate movement in 2016.
