Climate Activists Protest at Japanese Embassy in the Philippines in Time for the G7 Meeting

The G7, as the world’s largest economies and among the most responsible for the climate crisis, must be held accountable for the destruction that they are causing. They must stop financing and supporting fossil fuels and promote genuine climate solutions. False solutions like gas, geoengineering, and “clean coal technology” will not address the crisis at hand. These largest economies must decarbonize, stop their destructive projects in Global South countries, and pay climate reparations!

Japan is part of the G7; a group of highly industrialized countried who annually addresses global issues and plans for the plans that are contingent based on the needs of the people. With their recent commitment to decarbonization and shifting to renewable energy sources, Japan has broke the consensus and is initiating an expansion in fossil fuel-based technologies.

Doraemon, being the equivalent of spongebob in Japan, has been the face of most industries propagating in Japan. The character was also the face of the mobilization in the Japan Embassy last May 17, Wednesday.

As critical environmental defenders who want to challenge and fight the detriments of the current system, we urge the public & private banks to stop financing fossil-based projects and instead finance climate reparations by investing in Global South countries and tending to the loss and damages that were inflicted upon them!

世界の経済大国からなるG7は、気候危機の最も大きな原因の一つであるため、自分たちが引き起こしてきた破壊に対して責任を負わなければなりません。化石燃料への融資や支援をやめ、真の気候変動対策を推進しなければなりません。ガス、地球工学、「クリーンコール技術」のような偽りの解決策は、目前の危機に対処することはできません。これらの経済大国は、脱炭素化を進め、グローバル・サウス諸国での破壊的なプロジェクトを中止し、気候賠償を支払わなければなりません!
