In this [Campfire talk], Jonas from Extinction Rebellion will talk us through some of the specifics of the climate struggle in Norway, as well as present some big and small actions they did, some of them, with great results. You'll learn about how Norway distributes fossil fuel wealth differently, how activists respond to divers challenges and risks, and, in the last section you'll learn [How to] organize an occupation.  Timestamps 00:36 [Campfire talks] The case of Norway in the climate struggle.

Actions and risks Norway is one of the largest oil & gas exporters globally. At the same time, fossil fuel extraction is entangled with the country's welfare system, which makes it difficult to campaign against. Jonas tells us about the efforts of the local Extinction Rebellion chapter in organizing occupations and blockades to stop the flow of oil and change the public perception around it.  32:52 [How to] Organize a big occupation!? Lessons from a Norwegian case Our guest describes the logistics involved in planning a big action, like the occupation of an oil rafinery. Scouting the location and the provision of food, transportation and a place to sleep prove to be as essential as the actual number of people willing to put their bodies on the line. Nonetheless, we learn that a small dedicated team is able to successfully organize such actions.  Resources Extinction Rebellion Norway Norway MPs reject calls to stop wealth fund investing in Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories (The Guardian) Greta Thunberg and climate activists block Norway oil rafinery (Le Monde) - Hosted & Edited by: Robi Sound engineering by: Marius Montage: Ioni Theme music: Teo Graphic artist & illustrator: Mina Social media: Grc - If you like our work, you can support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/cw/thelastfireflies or with a one time donation on ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/thelastfireflies
