Dozens of people protest against Israel as United Nations annual climate talks begin in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Climate activists at the conference — many of them wearing Palestinian keffiyehs — held up banners calling for climate justice and for nations to “stop fueling genocide.”
“All these struggles are intersectional,” says Lise Masson, a protester from Friends of the Earth International. “It’s the same systems of oppression and discrimination that are putting people on the frontlines of climate change and putting people on the front lines of conflict in Palestine.”
She slams the United States, the UK and the EU for not spending more on climate finance while also supplying arms to Israel.
Mohammed Ursof, a climate activist from Gaza, calls for demonstrators at the talks to “get power back to the Indigenous, power back to the people.”
Israel launched its war in Gaza after the Hamas-led October 7 assault on southern Israel that killed some 1,200 people and saw 251 abducted to Gaza.
