Nu ook Klimaatrechtzaak in Rusland

Het Constitutionele Hof van de Russische Federatie heeft de allereerste klimaatrechtszaak tegen de Russische autoriteiten geregistreerd. De eisers zijn de milieugroep “Ecodefence!” en 18 activisten uit milieu-, klimaat- en mensenrechtenbewegingen, evenals mensen die zich inzetten voor de bescherming van de rechten van inheemse volken. De aanklagers zijn van mening dat het huidige klimaatbeleid van Rusland in strijd is met de grondrechten die in de grondwet zijn vastgelegd: het recht op leven, gezondheid en een goed milieu.

It is first time when Russian Constitutional court registers climate lawsuit against government. Well, Russia is not exactly a place of hope, not quite yet, but someone got to pave the way https://t.co/x9kD1jfTPV

Het aantal rampzalige natuurverschijnselen (overstromingen, bosbranden, hittegolven, enz.) dat wetenschappers toeschrijven aan klimaatverandering neemt toe. Volgens gegevens van de Russische overheid stijgt de gemiddelde temperatuur in Rusland meer dan twee keer zo snel als in de rest van de wereld. Om de klimaatverandering een halt toe te roepen, is het noodzakelijk om de uitstoot van broeikasgassen te verminderen, waartoe Rusland zich heeft verbonden door het ondertekenen van het Klimaatakkoord van Parijs. Om de doelstellingen van het akkoord te halen, moet Rusland de uitstoot van bijna 2,2 miljard ton CO2-equivalent per jaar terugbrengen tot 968 miljoen ton in 2030 en 157 miljoen ton in 2050, aldus de aanklagers.

De 19 indieners betwisten de grondwettigheid van presidentieel decreet nr. 666 van 4 november 2020 “Ter vermindering van de uitstoot van broeikasgassen” en de bijlage bij de strategie voor de sociaaleconomische ontwikkeling van de Russische Federatie met lage broeikasgasemissies tot 2050, evenals een aantal aanverwante wetten. Het decreet en de strategie zijn de belangrijkste documenten van de Russische Federatie die de doelstellingen bepalen op het gebied van de vermindering van broeikasgasemissies.

In plaats van de uitstoot te verminderen, is Rusland van plan deze te verhogen in overeenstemming met het presidentieel decreet. Dit is een beleid van klimaatvernietiging, dat nieuwe rampen met zich meebrengt die steeds meer levens zullen eisen. We hebben dringend actie nodig om de uitstoot te verminderen en effectieve aanpassingsplannen in het hele land,” zegt Vladimir Slivyak, medevoorzitter van de groep ‘Ecodefence!’ en winnaar van The Right Livelihood Award.

De emissiereductiedoelen die Rusland heeft gesteld zijn extreem ver verwijderd van de niveaus die vereist zijn door de Overeenkomst van Parijs, wat betekent dat de staat de bescherming van burgers tegen klimaatverandering negeert. We willen dat het Grondwettelijk Hof de autoriteiten verplicht om een klimaatverordening op te leggen,” schrijft Grigory Vaipan, advocaat van de aanklagers.

Om het klimaat op onze planeet niet verder te laten verslechteren, moeten we nu actie ondernemen. Anders zullen toekomstige generaties in ondraaglijke omstandigheden moeten leven, en voor inheemse volken betekent dit letterlijk uitsterven, omdat klimaatverandering hulpbronnen vernietigt die van vitaal belang zijn voor hun overleving,” zegt Arshak Makichyan, voormalig organisator van de Russische Vrijdag voor de Toekomst, die gedwongen werd Rusland te verlaten vanwege vervolging door de autoriteiten.

The Constitutional Court will consider Russia’s first ever climate lawsuit

19 applicants are demanding to recognize a number of laws as inconsistent with the Constitution of the Russian Federation due to the catastrophic consequences of climate change. As it became known,…

Next week, we're looking forward to a virtual event with Xander Dunlap, author of "This System is Killing Us: Land Grabbing, the Green Economy and Ecological Conflict." Joining the conversation from different continents, Xander and translator Carlos Tornel will discuss energy justice, capitalist warfare, and decolonization.

"This System is Killing Us" is an insider look at the catastrophic effects of energy infrastructure and mining on communities, their land, and our planet. Xander spent almost a decade living and working with indigenous activists worldwide to uncover the truth behind the green re-branding of capitalism that social movements in the Global North have been slow to challenge.

Register for this free event, and grab a copy of the book at https://firestorm.coop/events/3186-the-frontlines-against-green-capitalism.html (link in bio). Not sure if you can make the event? Sign up anyway and you'll receive a link to the recorded conversation when we post it!

Logging Equipment In Camden County GA Destroyed By Arson – Scenes from the Atlanta Forest

"In a groundbreaking move in a country where climate change sits at the margins of public discourse, the #MoscowHelsinkiGroup, #Ecodefense and 18 individuals initiated the first-ever #ClimateLitigation case in #Russian history.

In response to the Russian [supreme] court's dismissive handling of the climate case, the group went to its Plan B: lodging the same lawsuit with the European Court of Human Rights (#ECHR) in September 2023."

Two Valves Turned Closed on Enbridge’s Line 5

"It is with a heavy heart and hazy skies we announce that 2 different pipeline valves were turned off along the Line 5 route on Anishinaabae land in the great lakes region.This was done on the 13th anniversary of the Kalamazoo River oil spill. ... They must stop the flow of oil, because all of our lives depend on it.

And if they don’t, we will"

"Over the past 2 weeks more than 100 trees in and around the proposed camp grayling expansion area were spiked, namely forests managed by the grayling and gaylord department of natural resources. ...
