We want to kick big polluters out, really uplifting to
to see comrades, to see friends and allies here coming
together.
Despite the restrictive conditions for civil society and movements, we
try to still come together and raise our voices together.
So that's still, that's a very positive thing.
Our team is here on the ground in Baku, in
Azerbaijan, supporting actions.
Actions and creativity are some of the main ways in
which civil society has a voice.
Inside the UN, there's very limited spaces, official spaces by
which civil society can engage and give and have their
voices heard.
But what we found is actually using actions and using
creativity is in some ways one of the best tools
we have.
We're very grateful that these spaces for protest exist, but
they are very limited, and we've seen increasing limitations in
recent years.
But one of the results of having to operate inside
this narrow frame of of what is allowed and what
isn't allowed is it really makes us lean into creativity.
We see these actions where the numbers are being read
about how many people lose their homes every day.
They're our friends, you know, But to people from whom
it's very far away, it's very difficult to make them
pay attention.
And I think that's where that's where also the creativity
comes in.
And the personal side of it comes in that we
try to tell stories through visual to creativity and not
just show them plain numbers, but like put behind it
the human face the and the human emotion as well.
