HowMuchMore campaign
September to December 2023
As part of Scientist Rebellion Global's #HowMuchMore campaign, we:
- Organised a mapping fossil ties at universities events. Activists at some universities, such as UCLouvain, have started working towards mapping these ties. You can contact us by email if you want to get involved.
- In the run up to the 3rd edition of Code Rouge we organised a workshop on the future of aviation where we invited speakers from Transport and Environment Europe, StayGrounded, DoeDeurneDicht and Alexander Araya Lopez, an academic studying air protest movements.
- Organised three "science and activism" discussions. These were well appreciated and we hope to continue them in the new year.
- Took part in an action against the EU's hydrogen strategy
- Took part in Code Rouge's mass action against the aviation industry
