KOHEI SAITO’S _MARX IN THE ANTHROPOCENE_
[[link removed]]

_Andrew Ahern_ / Los Angeles Review of Books

The parallel between the advance of capitalism and the rise of the
Anthropocene is well documented—some simply call it the
Capitalocene—and yet, despite occasional critiques, few or none of
the mainstream environmentalist organizations call for the overthrow
of the capitalist system. Do they think that capitalism can be
greened?

GENDER DISPARITY AND CLIMATE
[[link removed]]

_Adrian Murdoch_ / Capital Monitor (London)

Organisations must prioritise gender equality to support progress
towards net-zero, according to new research. Although all-too-little
has still been done about it, the link between gender and climate
change is not news. Women remain on the front line of climate change.
Higher temperatures have a negative impact on the working hours of
low-skilled labour, especially among women.

SUSTAINING THE MOVEMENT
[[link removed]]

_Charlie Wood_ / Waging Nonviolence (Brooklyn)

The Australian climate movement faces challenges in recruiting and
retaining staff and volunteers with the skills, experience and
capacities needed for climate justice work. In fact, this was the top
organizational challenge named by groups after financial stability,
which is saying something for a heavily under-resourced sector.

KENYAN ENVIRONMENTALISTS DEFEND FORESTS
[[link removed]]

_Victor Abuso_ / The Africa Report (Paris)

Environmental activists in Kenya have rejected President William
Ruto’s announcement of lifting a six-year ban on logging in
forests. They warn the decision, if not reconsidered, will have
devastating consequences on the environment, including rivers in
forests that would go dry if the tree cover was razed.

ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIANS DEFEAT NUCLEAR DUMP
[[link removed]]

_Dr Jim Green_ / The Ecologist (Bideford UK)

Bipartisan efforts by successive federal governments to impose a
national nuclear waste dump on the land of Barngarla Aboriginal
traditional owners in South Australia have been upended by a federal
court decision in favour of the Barngarla people.

PROTECTING THE PACIFIC
[[link removed]]

_James Tababa_ / Manila Report

On June 29 at the Pandesal Forum of Kamuning Bakery Cafe in Quezon
City, various fishermen and environmentalist groups gathered to
express their opposition to the controversial plan by the Japanese
government which involves the impending dumping of 1.3 million tons of
Fukushima nuclear wastewaters into the Pacific Ocean.

TURKISH WOMEN STAND AGAINST FOREST DESTRUCTION

_Arzu Geybullayeva_ / Global Voices (Amsterdam)

Some 300 organizations have rallied behind the call by residents of
Turkey’s southwestern province of Muğla, to stop any mining
activities in the area. Environmental
activists, representatives of opposition political parties,
and nature conservation organizations have been holding a vigil in
the area. Local police have used force, tear gas, and water cannons
against them.

ONTARIO’S MINING BOOM AND THE NEW COLD WAR
[[link removed]]

_Owen Schalk_ / Canadian Dimension (Winnipeg)

A central focus of the Ford government is exploiting the “Ring of
Fire” region in the northern James Bay Lowlands, despite the
resistance of Indigenous nations there. These nations assert that the
provincial government has failed in its consultation duties, and that
its drive to exploit the area’s minerals is endangering the
region’s peatlands.
