SUMMARY:Welfare Not Warfare for Climate Justice and Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the York Environmental Festival for Welfare Not Warfare for Climate Justice and Palestine. War and militarism drive climate breakdown—destroying ecosystems\, polluting air and water\, and diverting resources from a just green transition. Militaries are among the world’s biggest polluters\, yet governments expand defence spending while cutting climate action. True environmentalism means resisting militarism and uniting for peace\, justice\, and a sustainable future. \nThis event is for ages 12+. \nBooking required and can be done here.
