The Great Suburban Walk
There’s a federal election on its way, yet our political leaders continue to backflip, delay and deny on climate change. With so much at stake, it’s time for the community to put climate action back on the election agenda.
The 2010 Walk Against Warming demand that our political leaders face up to their responsibility on climate change. We’ll remind them that to secure our votes, they must ‘Walk with the People, Not the Big Polluters’.
This year we took our message for a safe climate straight to the people that matter most – the voters.
We coordinated hundreds of Victorians in three key electorates (Melbourne, Deakin and La Trobe) to come together and letterbox. To make sure that voters in those areas know exactly what actions our leaders need to take on climate change.
So that means that less than one week before the federal election, up to 300,000 of the most influential voters in Victoria will receive our safe climate message. How good!

BUILT ENVIRONMENT NETWORKING - HELD THE FIRST LONDON EVENT AT THE CENTRAL HALL IN WESTMINSTER.©RUSSELL SACH - 0771 882 6138
This morning, on Nov. 5, 2025, Premier David Eby; Chief Marilyn Slett, president, Coastal First Nations; Mayor Garry Reece, Lax Kw’alaams; Jason Alsop, president, Haida Nation; Paula Amos, Indigenous Tourism B.C.; and Clarence Innis, Hereditary Elder, all signed the following declaration:
The North Coast Protection Declaration
“For generations, communities have built and sustained the economy of the North Coast – a legacy that continues today through a multibillion-dollar, sustainable conservation economy that supports thousands of livelihoods in fisheries, tourism, renewable energy and stewardship.
“Protecting our coast is not a barrier to economic prosperity – it is the source of it.
“The Great Bear Rainforest agreements have directly created more than 1,400 permanent jobs and 140 new businesses to date – and counting. In the past 15 years, the conservation economy has generated nearly $2 billion in economic value for British Columbia and for Canada. This is economy that invests back into communities, setting the foundation for ongoing prosperity.
“The oil tanker ban is the result of over 50 years of advocacy from First Nations and coastal communities, and supported by federal and provincial governments of all political stripes. Formalized into law in 2019, the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act did not create this protection – it codified a longstanding commitment that has kept one of the most ecologically and culturally rich marine regions on Earth safe from the threat of crude-oil spills.
“Repealing the tanker ban would risk near-term major projects and cheat B.C.’s economy out of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in investments. Over the long term, the consequence of a crude-oil spill in these waters would be generations of lost livelihoods and irreversible ecological damage.
“We urge the federal government to stand firm in its commitment to uphold the tanker ban. Protecting the North Coast is not an item for negotiation – it is a national responsibility, and it is a quantifiable investment in Canada’s treasured marine environment and the economic prosperity of future generations.
“We choose progress.
“We choose protection.
“We choose: Our Economy. Our Coast.”

Curatorial Statement
Diaspora Climate brings together diverse climates, cultures, languages, histories, memories, feelings, perspectives, and connections through personal experiences and artistic expressions, linking an affinity with both natural environments and cultural dispositions. Human beings are as sensitive to displacement and transplantation as plants and animals. Diaspora Climate signals the ethical and emotional bonds diasporic people hold with the climatic pressures affecting them both “here” and “there”, including struggles, suffering, and the shared fate of the world and planet Earth.
The exhibition features work by four artists: Sara Angelucci (Toronto), Teresa Chan (Toronto), Ma Yongfeng (Berlin), and Rehab Nazzal (occupied West Bank, Palestine). Their works respond to relationships with particular places, cultures, histories, climates, and environments, while also addressing ongoing afflictions of social and environmental violence, driven by brutal global capitalism, colonialism, and arbitrary state apparatuses. These forces bring wars, relentless exploitation, and the dispossession of living space and life for both nature and people, intensifying the Climate Crisis. The voices and gestures that artists share through their works are ripples of Global Diaspora Solidarity.
The Japanese word fudo (Chinese and Japanese Kanji: ??) is translated as “climate,” yet its meaning extends beyond meteorological conditions. It signifies the inseparable and mutually formative relationship among seasons, climate, nature, and modes of human life and sensibility in a particular place, culture, and its history. A related Chinese saying, ????????, expresses a similar idea: that the soil and waters of a given land nurture the distinctive dispositions of its people. In this sense, fudo (????) is comparable to the ancient Greek concept of chorographia, which refers to the description or mapping of a specific region or country, emphasizing local features, history, natural history, and culture, in contrast to geography, which sought to describe the world as a whole. Chorographia suggests that the topography, natural environment, and social and political structures of a particular area are interconnected.[1] fudo (????) is still embodied in East Asian perceptions of the world and in their aesthetic–climatic sensibilities, whereas in the modern Western world, a scientific divide tends to separate and dominate human relationships with nature.
When the modern Japanese philosopher Tetsuro Watsuji (1889–1960) brought the traditional East Asian concept of fudo (??) into dialogue with Western scientific notions of “climate” and “environment,” he understood climate not merely as a natural phenomenon. Rather, he argued that human existence, history, and climate are inseparable. In a climatic register, humans apprehend themselves and shape both individual and collective sensibilities. Therefore, social, cultural, and political transformation depends upon the transformation of climatic culture; as it changes, the customs and habits of a people change accordingly (????). Furthermore, Watsuji suggests that diaspora, those who have left and become distanced from their homeland, and the “other,” who does not fully belong to a given climatic culture, may grasp a climate and fudo (??) in a uniquely profound and nuanced way, one that is often more reflective and thought-provoking.[2]
Diaspora holds an acute and incisive political position from which to question and reinterpret the relationship between climate and culture. It activates each individual as a micro-center, responsible for addressing issues of climate change and for pursuing climate and social justice.
Diaspora refuses to be fixed to a single position. Carried on in migration and drifting, diaspora lives simultaneously inside and outside of “home” and “homelessness,” being here (displaced and adopted) and there (exiled and distanced). As writer Yoko Tawada, who writes in both Japanese and German, argues, diaspora refuses to be integrated into a dominant language and culture and denied parts of themselves, such as accent and one’s history and cultural memory. Meanwhile, diaspora also flies from the cocoon of the mother tongue and journeys into adventurous encounters with other tongues, creating new communities rather than being bound to predetermined communities or fixed identities (2025).[3]
We cannot talk about climate change or social and environmental justice without confronting the ongoing genocide and ecocide in Palestine, the environmental disaster following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the erasure of Indigenous communities and forests in the Amazon and elsewhere—all exemplify the devastating consequences of global environmental and social injustices.[4] In particular, I believe, we cannot talk about anything, any change, and any future, if we avoid looking at and talking about Palestine: what has been happening to its people and land under an increasingly brutal Apartheid system of genocide, ecocide, siege and elimination of eco-human life and culture, imposed by a fully techno-weaponized modern state.
Once a terrible world is born through the deprivation, exploitation, and killing of one group of people by another—as in Nazism, colonialism, Apartheid, or dictatorship—its psyche, ideology, and whole mechanism continue to evolve and contaminate the world. It therefore becomes the obligation of everyone, and particularly of critical and creative minds, to resist it and to fight for justice and the rights of every being, human and non-human, with unwavering attention and sustained effort.
We should rethink our dear and precious life and world from the position of “bare life,” which designates the victims of the violence of sovereign power who are deprived of their rights to live as full human beings in every sense.[5] The deprived, abused, and threatened cherish the precious life more deeply; they preserve and shine the light of dignity of life more radiantly; and they hold tight to the faith in justice more adamantly. They are more human, and more humanly, than the abusers and those who support, tolerate, or comply with them. They fight for life with all their means; they fight for life with life itself. They fight for humanity. The “qualified life,” secured by killing others and by imposing segregation and deprivation, is not true life. Instead, it is soulless slavery that abandons humanity and being human together with other human and nonhuman beings.

[1] The ancient Greek term chorographia (or chorography) derives from khoros, meaning place or region, and graphia, meaning writing or drawing. The term appears in the work Geography by the ancient Greek geographer Strabo and later reemerged during the Renaissance, notably in Athanasius Kircher’s Mundus subterraneus.
