In conversation with Kumi, Disha shares her perspective as a youth climate leader from the Global South. She explains what it means to be part of a movement that is bigger than oneself, how the climate struggle differs between rich and poor countries, and speaks passionately about what brings her inspiration and keeps her fighting.----------------------Produced by the Green Economy Coalition, the world’s largest movement for a green and fair economy: https://greeneconomycoalition.orgDisha on Twitter: @disharaviiDisha on Instagram: @dishara...

#FreeFromGas #GatacaGazul Guerrilla Projections- Mediaş (Romgaz HQ), Romania
In the middle of a rainy summer night in Medias, Romania, a group of climate activists from Gastivists Romania and Fridays For Future Romania beamed protest slogans like “No More Gas” and “Black Sea + Romgaz = Dead Sea” onto the headquarters of Romgaz, the largest fossil gas extraction company in the country. The action denounced the company’s shortsighted and destructive efforts to explore and drill for more fossil gas in the Black Sea, and in particular, the proposed Neptun Deep project, which the company and the national government justify as being necessary to reduce Russian gas imports. The activists demanded that Romgaz admit that the fossil fuel era has come to end and stressed that all gas extraction fuels climate chaos, war, and militarization. They also expressed solidarity with the gas industry workers, underscoring that Romgaz has the moral responsibility to ensure that its workers transition into truly sustainable and green jobs of the future.
