COP28’s Delinquent Emitter: The US Military Industrial Complex
As the world gathers at COP28 in Dubai amidst an accelerating climate crisis, the Oakland Institute’s new brief, Exempted! The US Military Industrial Complex and the Climate Crisis, reveals a critical blind spot in global climate agreements.

NATO – Klimakiller (de)
Erklärung der Global Women for Peace United Against NATO (GWUAN)
Die Nordatlantikpakt-Organisation ist ein 1949 gegründetes Militärbündnis von 31 Ländern des globalen Nordens. Die NATO wird von den Vereinigten Staaten dominiert, seit ihrer Gründung ist der Oberste Befehlshaber immer ein amerikanischer General.

International Coordinating Committee (ICC) of the
Statement on the Israel-Palestine war
Gaza residents are currently facing the deadliest offensive in their history. This comes on top of the humanitarian disaster caused by the Israeli blockade that has been in place for 16 years.
