Today police arrested peaceful protesters on our @vuamsterdam.bsky.social campus.
The students demanded that the VU discloses all ties with lsrael, but their call for transparency was met with arrests.

✈️ More flights=more emissions= more droughts=more hardship for women.
Therefore, I joined @xrnl.bsky.social and @scientistrebellion.nl to protest #KLMs Frequent Flyer Programme - rewarding polluting behaviour: While the wealthiest rack up air miles, women have to walk more miles.

🔥 Today, on #InternationalWomensDay, I took action for climate justice & gender justice.
At @schiphol.bsky.social , we stopped the escalators—a symbol of how every fraction of a degree of global warming forces women to walk further for drinking water due to increasing #droughts.

As we exceed the safe and just earth system boundaries for climate, land, biodiversity, and freshwater, it's crucial to rethink our water management and prospectively manage drought risks.

Droughts affect economies, ecosystems and societies, undermining our efforts in achieving the SDGs and our biodiversity and climate goals.
We observe that drought is a growing global threat yet mitigation efforts and adaptation actions are lagging behind.

This was our first draft, after the @wmo-global.bsky.social #IDMP #DR10 conference, sketching the pathways in front of us, at the start of @unccd.bsky.social #COP16:
- BAU towards more drought #risks , or
- global cooperation and transformative actions towards drought #resilience

We're in a climate crisis, with only a handful of years left to stop global warming at 1.5degrees.
CO2-emitting behavior should be discouraged, not financially rewarded through programs like KLM 's 'Flying Blue'
