Socio-environmental movements call for closure of World Bank climate fund

19-04-2004 09:36

Today, over fifty environmental and social justice NGOs and other groups sent a letter of protest to the World Bank calling for the closure of its new emissions trading fund, The Prototype Carbon Fund. In the year of the World Bank’s 60th anniversary and in the run-up to intense protests in Washington D.C. at their annual meeting this month, the groups state that the Bank’s new fund is destructive greenwash and has in fact created extra problems for communities and the environment.

Cambridge Mayday...and more!

18-04-2004 20:02

Grafton Centre - Mayday fun for all the family!
An excellent meeting took place in Cambridge yesterday to discuss the possibilities of setting some kind of new collective in the city. It was surprisingly well attended given the short notice and less than perfect advertising and it seems that quite a few of us have been wanting something like this to emerge for a while.

BRITISH MONARCHY AND THE POLITICS OF SUBMISSION

16-04-2004 23:34

Police line waiting for the queen.
