End Fossil: Occupy is a global movement that has committed to accelerating the transition from a fossil to a sustainable and socially just economy. The initiative, heavily influenced by the climate youth movement and particularly by Fridays for Future, aims to end the fossil industry and achieve global social justice.
The main mission of End Fossil: Occupy is to change the existing economic system by ending the fossil economy on an international level. This is to be achieved through a global and socially just process. The movement is based on three central principles:
End Fossil: Occupy pursues several specific sustainability goals and initiatives:
End Fossil: Occupy has already occupied schools and universities worldwide in several waves. Between September and December 2022, over 50 schools and universities were occupied, and in May 2023, another 75 occupations followed. These actions aim to exert pressure on institutions and disrupt public life until the demands are met[1][3][4].
The movement draws its inspiration from historical examples such as the Penguin Revolution in Chile in 2006 and the Primavera Secundarista in Brazil in 2016. It works closely with other parts of the climate and social justice movement to achieve broad mobilization and bring about societal transformation[2][4].
End Fossil: Occupy is a dynamic and determined movement aimed at creating a better, socially just, and ecologically sustainable world, where the interests of people and the planet are no longer sacrificed for profit-driven goals.
