Global Hunger Strike for Climate

Global Hunger Strike for Climate

The Synchronized Global Hunger Strike for Climate is a groundbreaking initiative that unites individuals, activists, and organizations worldwide in a powerful demonstration of urgency and commitment to address the global climate crisis. As part of the broader campaign for climate and ecological emergency action, this unprecedented hunger strike aims to draw immediate attention to the pressing need for transformative change on a global scale.

Commencing on November 1, 2023, and extending indefinitely throughout the duration of the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) in Dubai, UAE, the Synchronized Global Hunger Strike for Climate serves as a resolute call to action. By voluntarily abstaining from food, participants symbolize their unwavering dedication to pushing for climate justice and a sustainable future.

The hunger strike emphasizes three fundamental pillars for climate and ecological emergency action. Firstly, it advocates for a swift reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, with a specific focus on lowering atmospheric CO2 levels to a safe zone of no more than 300 parts per million (ppm). Secondly, it calls for the implementation of a carbon price that accurately reflects the true costs associated with carbon emissions, acting as a powerful economic lever to drive sustainable practices and transition toward a low-carbon future. Finally, the hunger strike recognizes the imperative need for innovative carbon removal technologies and large-scale negative emissions initiatives to remove at least 1 trillion tonnes of CO2 equivalent from the atmosphere.

By participating in the Synchronized Global Hunger Strike for Climate, individuals join a global movement demanding immediate and tangible action to combat climate change. This united front aims to capture the attention of policymakers, business leaders, and communities worldwide, urging them to prioritize the urgent challenges we face and work towards a sustainable and resilient future for all.

As part of the larger campaign, the hunger strike serves as a catalyst for change, inspiring vital conversations, influencing policy decisions, and mobilizing communities. Together, we have the power to make a lasting impact in the fight against climate change and ecological degradation.
