Doctors for Extinction Rebellion Switzerland

The urgency of the climate crisis and the impact it will have on health is ever more apparent

Country:Switzerland

Canton or department:Geneva

Website:https://www.facebook.com/doctors4xr.ch

Contact:doctors4xr@protonmail.ch

Address:Geneva

Doctors for Extinction Rebellion has carefully considered its position. As a highly respected group of professionals, publicly backing and acting with a group which commits to breaking the law may seem like an unusual move, but they believe that the severity of the crisis is so great that such a decision is justified.

Extinction Rebellion “is a socio-political movement which utilises nonviolent resistance to avert climate breakdown, halt biodiversity loss, and minimise the risk of human extinction and ecological collapse”

They have 3 demands:

Tell the Truth. Government must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change.
Act Now. Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.
Beyond Politics. Government must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice.
