QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES — In the Philippines where climate justice tends to be a lesser priority, activists have to keep finding ways to reinforce their message. 350 Philippines joins the cross-sector Rise for Climate march campaigning for the country’s transition from coal to renewable energy. Young people dressed as scientists to emphasize the fact that climate change and its effects are real and far-reaching, and the dinosaur calls out the continued use of dated fossil fuels like coal.
350 Philippines sends a clear message: “No new fossil fuel projects,” and “a fast, just transition to 100% renewable energy.”
On September 8, 2018, tens of thousands of people joined over 830 actions in 91 countries under the banner of Rise for Climate to demonstrate the urgency of the climate crisis. Communities around the world shined a spotlight on the increasing impacts they are experiencing and demanded local action to keep fossil fuels in the ground. There were hundreds of creative events and actions that challenged fossil fuels and called for a swift and just transition to 100% renewable energy for all. Event organizers emphasized community-led solutions, starting in places most impacted by pollution and climate change.

QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES — “PAGKAIN HINDI MINA” (Food Not Mines)
In the Philippines where climate justice tends to be a lesser priority, protesters make a call for what people really need - food. The Philippines is one of the most affected countries by climate change. Extreme weather, including both typhoons and drought, affects food security - from ensuring crops survive, to ensuring crops make it in time and still at an affordable price to the people who need it.

The 2015 Autumn/ Winter issue of What on Earth (the Friends of the Earth Scotand supporters’ magazine) reveals vast oil and gas investments by pension funds of local Authorities in Scotland and suggests that concerned people should contact their councillors asking them to support the Divest Pensions campaign.
There is also a petition for the Church of Scotland to divest from fossil fuels see: campaigns.gofossilfree.org/petitions/divest-the-church-of...
In July 2014 the World Council of Churches, which represents over half a billion Christians worldwide, pulled its investment out of fossil fuel companies ( see www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jul/11/world-council... ) There has also reportedly been an increase in divestment out of fossil fuel companies in the United States see: time.com/4045001/fossil-fuel-divestment/ and www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/oct/08/fossil-fuel-d...
Amongst academic institutions in Scotland Glasgow University has led the way by divesting (see: www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/oct/08/glasgow-becom... )
Edinburgh University that has a large investment fund continues to be criticised for putting some 8-9 % of this into fossil fuels (see: www.robedwards.com/2015/05/anger-as-edinburgh-university-...) .
Aberdeen University has also so far failed to divest (see: campaigns.gofossilfree.org/petitions/university-of-aberde...
