Statement in response to the US election results.

The US election results may feel like a setback in driving substantive climate action, but history has shown that even in challenging times, we have the resilience and capacity to transform our communities, our institutions, and our future. Now is not the time to despair; it’s the time to organise strategically and take meaningful climate action.

The work we do on the ground – in our local communities, in our universities, and in every place where people gather for a better world – will drive the change we need. Let's channel any disappointment into determination. We are part of a growing movement that cannot be silenced or sidelined. The climate crisis waits for no one, and the solutions we fight for are critical for all life on this planet.

In the face of this moment, one thing is clear: we cannot lose sight of the power we hold when we come together.

Let's come together in solidarity and seize this moment to intensify our efforts. From grassroots networks to international forums, our collective action is unstoppable. This is our opportunity to build even stronger alliances, hold leaders accountable, challenge disinformation, and inspire others to join in protecting our planet and achieving climate justice.

We’re not giving up. We’re just getting started.
