Climate Camp Dissolves

8 Mar

from Sheffield Indymedia
After 5 years of Climate Camps, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, a statement has been issued by the The Camp for Climate Action to say that “we will not organise a national Climate Camp in 2011” and that “we will not organise national gatherings as ?Climate Camp? or the Camp for Climate Action in 2011”. This decision, and the process by which it was made, has been criticised by SchNews, “the act of a minority to shut-down an organisation which is meant to be run autonomously is entirely contradictory… Where Climate Camp goes after this, and whether local groups can effectively use the collective identity which has done so much for environmental activism over the last 5 years remains to be seen.”
