Leonor Canadas from the Portuguese group Climaximo spoke in the initial plenary session at the conference. on 18 October. Later she spoke in more detail about Climaximo – how they organise and what they do. We recommend checking out the Climaximo website.
In Climax’s words they are ‘an open, horizontal and anti-capitalist collective.’
They say:
We are the ones who refuse to lose everything without first trying to win, for the risk we take can’t be compared to the risk of not acting.
In 2019 we explicitly and consciously took on systemic change as our social and political mission, declaring a state of climate emergency within Climáximo and launching an in-depth process of internal restructuring. Every year we have updated the measures we take based on reality. In 2023 we changed everything. Read the current declaration of a state of climate emergency within Climáximo here: state of emergency.
The background to Climaximo’s approach to climate action and climate politics, and the sharp change they made in 2023, is summarised in the book All In which we reviewed on this website in April. You can find out how to get hold of the book and access more resources on the All In website.
