Red Rebel International Day of Action: COP 29

STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION

XR Boston will be participating in the Red Rebel International Day of Action on Saturday November 9 in protest of COP29.The event will start at 2pm. Meet us at the Boston Public Garden entrance at the intersection of Arlington and Boylston streets near the Arlington MBTA green line station. Together we will move through the Common and environs as a funeral procession with die-ins.

The Red Rebel International Day of Action is focusing on COP29, the annual UN climate conference. Even though, the gathering doesn't start until November 11, we are anticipating the convention's failure. Past conferences have not addressed the climate crisis. Fossil fuel interests seized control. This year, COP29 is taking place in Azerbaijan where oil makes up 90% of the country's exports. The focus of COP29 is climate finance. Research by economists Nicholas Stern and Vera Songwe in 2022 suggested about 2.4 trillion dollars would be needed annually for developing countries to tackle the climate crisis excluding China. Do you think that the world's wealthier countries will bankroll this initiative? What could possibly go wrong?

The rain date is Sunday November 10. Hope to see you there!

We do need marshals for this event. Please contact vernalpoole@yahoo.com if you are interested.
