INFORMATIONS ON THE RISE UP FOR CHANGE (30. JULY - 6. AUGUST 2021)

During the discussions about the CO2 law, Switzerland's biggest climate lever was completely ignored: the Swiss financial center ...
finances over 2% of global emissions.
causes 20 times the domestic greenhouse gas emissions.
is a global driver for reckless growth and exploitation for the the sake of profit maximization.This summer, the Swiss climate justice movement is bringing the Swiss financial center back into the spotlight with a variety of actions during one week. Let's build pressure together and advocate for a climate and socially just transition to a fossil-free future!

Camp: 30.7 – 5./6.8 in Zürich
For the entire action week, a climate camp will take place in the Zurich area. The camp has a kitchen, it will offer overnight accommodations and there you will find everything for the action week, from action trainings to banner painting to legal advice.

Actions in Zürich (from the 1st august)
The first part of the action week is aimed at private banks and will also include a big, colorful mass action of civil disobedience. Be sure to come to the last action plenary on Sunday, August 1st at 17h at the Climate Camp to be part of the action week from the beginning. There are different levels of action, including many with low legal risk. We will try to act skillfully and not simply provoke or cause unnecessary repression: our objective is not to use civil disobedience as a goal in itself, but as a way to bring the Swiss financial center back into the spotlight and to raise public awareness on its nefarious role.

Action in Bern (6 august)
The second part of the action week focuses more on the systemic problems of the Swiss financial center. For this we will take to the streets on Friday, August 6 with a big final demonstration in Bern to demand that the Federal authorities and the SNB comply with the Paris Agreement concerning financial flows and become positive forces for social and environmental justice.
