This statement was adopted by the Climate Action Now Steering Committee in December 2023
We call for an immediate ceasefire in Palestine/Israel, leading to a just and peaceful resolution; the release of all hostages; respect for international humanitarian law and human rights; and the unrestricted provision of humanitarian access and aid in Gaza.
We stand against all war crimes and crimes against humanity. We stand against anti-Semitic, anti-Palestinian, Islamophobic, and xenophobic rhetoric and attacks.
As a climate justice organization, we also recognize that war vastly increases emissions and contributes to the climate crisis. For the sake of human life and the global ecosystem, we need a ceasefire now.
