With the European Green Deal, the EU has taken on a leading role in the global fight against the climate crisis in recent years and set the course towards climate neutrality and more climate justice.

On 9 April 2024, the European Court of Human Rights came to a landmark decision: Switzerland was sued for failing to protect the climate.

Climate change affects us all, but most of all the people in the countries of the Global South, who contribute the least to global greenhouse gas emissions. The NFI campaign "1 Euro for Climate Justice" invites all Naturefriends from wealthy countries to make a contribution to greater climate justice.

As the holiday season approaches, NFI's Christmas fundraising campaign takes on a special significance. It is a time of giving when we want to support those who are most affected by climate change. This year, the focus of NFI's campaign resonates deeply with the principles of climate justice. In a symbolic sense, when you support initiatives like the Naturefriends Climate Fund you're nurturing a different kind of Christmas tree - one that grows in the hearts and at the same time in the soil of the villages in Senegal and The Gambia where our Naturefriends tree sponsorship programme is being implemented.

The XXV Congress of Naturefriends International demands from the wealthy states a stronger commitment to climate protection and climate justice!
