Rosmel RodrΓguezΒ PhD student O Centro de Estudos Sociais da Universidade de Coimbra We need to learn from the mistakes of the past, where solutions to climate change have often benefited only a few and harmed many others. Colonialism has been a destructive force in human history, generating inequality and suffering throughout the world. But although times have changed and traditional colonialism has disappeared, a new form of domination has emerged: climate colonialism. This phenomenon, although less evident, continues to perpetuate inequality and power abuse in an environmental context. What is climate colonialism? Climate colonialism refers to the imbalance in the distribution of responsibilities and consequences of climate change between developed and developing countries. Rich countries, who have been the main culprits of historical greenhouse gas emissions, impose policies and expectations on less developed nations to combat climate change without providing sufficient resources or considering existing socioeconomic disparities. The result is a system that perpetuates exploitation and abuse, in which poor countries must bear the burden of climate change mitigation without receiving the benefits of development that rich countries have enjoyed for decades. In addition, developing nations often face the worst consequences of climate change, such as floods, droughts, storms, and other natural disasters that endanger their economic growth and social well-being. The hypocrisy of developed nations Climate colonialism reveals the hypocrisy of developed nations, who have achieved their prosperity at the expense of the environment and less fortunate countries. Despite efforts to mitigate climate change, many rich countries continue to invest in polluting industries and promote policies that favor their own economic interests instead of seeking sustainable global solutions. Injustice in international agreements In international agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, there is recognition of the need to address climate change and assist developing countries. However, these agreements often fall into the trap of climate colonialism by imposing emissions reduction and adaptation goals that do not take into account the socioeconomic and political realities of developing countries. The lack of resources and support, both financial and technological, makes it nearly impossible for these nations to meet the established objectives. The Role of Climate Justice To combat climate colonialism, advocating for climate justice is fundamental. Climate justice advocates for an equitable distribution of responsibilities and resources in the fight against climate change. This involves recognizing that those who have contributed less to the problem must be adequately supported in their efforts to adapt and mitigate its effects. Climate justice also demands the active and meaningful participation of affected communities and countries in decision-making on climate policies and strategies. Proposals for a More Just and Sustainable Future 1.Β Transfer of Technology and Resources: It is essential for developed countries to provide access to clean and sustainable technologies to developing nations. It might be useful for you Wetlands; The Earthβs Kidneys This includes the transfer of knowledge, financing, and technical support to ensure that developing countries can transition to a low-carbon economy without sacrificing their economic growth. 2.Β Climate Financing Commitments: Rich countries must fulfill and increase their climate financing commitments to support adaptation and mitigation in developing countries. This can include the establishment of specific aid funds and the creation of mechanisms to ensure transparency and equity in the distribution of resources. 3.Β Inclusion and Participation in Decision-Making: Developing countries should have a more prominent role in decision-making in international forums on climate change. This will ensure that their perspectives and needs are taken into account, resulting in more equitable and effective policies. The inclusion of local communities, indigenous peoples, and marginalized groups in the decision-making process is also crucial to ensure that solutions are sensitive to cultural and social realities. 4.Β Education and Awareness: Promoting education and awareness about climate change and its effects on vulnerable communities is essential to foster global solidarity and mutual understanding. This can be achieved through exchange programs, academic collaborations, and outreach activities that help build a strong foundation for cooperation and engagement in the fight against climate change. 5.Β Corporate Responsibility: Multinational corporations, especially those operating in developing countries, must take responsibility for their actions and reduce their environmental impact. This includes adopting sustainable practices, offsetting emissions, and promoting a more just and ethical supply chain. οΏΌ To conclude, I would like to emphasize that addressing climate colonialism collectively is essential to build a sustainable and fair future for everyone. Exploitation and inequality cannot be the basis for fighting climate change. Climate justice, international cooperation, and shared commitment are essential to overcome this new face of colonialism. Moreover, it is important to recognize that climate colonialism has deep historical roots, where developed countries have exploited natural resources and emitted large amounts of greenhouse gases, while developing countries have suffered the effects of climate change without significantly contributing to its cause. To overcome this inequality, we must work together to ensure that solutions to climate change are inclusive and equitable. We need to learn from the mistakes of the past, where solutions to climate change have often benefited only a few and harmed many others. We must strive to advocate for solutions that address the roots of climate colonialism and protect all communities, especially the most vulnerable. Only then can we hope to move forward towards a future where all countries and communities can thrive in a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable environment. We must work together to create a world where climate justice, international cooperation, and shared commitment are the pillars of our actions, and where everyone can live and prosper on equal terms.

When talking about environmental issues, environmental activists and environmentalists assume that people will change their behavior when they are informed about the benefits of new behavior. This is not always true, as humans are not only rational and many other factors are important as well. Other factors include someone's values and attitudes, social and personal norms, and how a message is framed. Taking these 5 tips into account is a good and low-cost start to make your climate action communication more effective: 1. Taking your audience into account 2. Considering how you say it 3. Referring to social norms 4. Changing psychological distance 5. Leveraging useful biases Learn more about how to put this into practice here: https://medium.com/climate-conscious/5-ways-to-make-climate-action-communication-more-effective-89b242e35842

Hi all! We wanted to bring attention to the Green Film School Alliance, which is aligned with our "EMA Green Seal" program, to which a specific category for students to earn this third-party recognition has been added. The Green Film School Alliance (GFSA) is a collaboration of leading film schools that have united in integrating industry-level sustainable production practices into their programs, committing to bringing common language, standards, and tools to their institutions. This alliance is built around specific actions aimed at reducing the impacts of physical production on the environment, a willingness to share best practices, and a pledge to further sustainable initiatives at their schools.
