Palestine: The Environmental Legacy of Occupation and War

ReAct Now brings together Palestinian organisations, European policymakers and human rights advocates to examine the environmental consequences of occupation and war, and their connection to the climate crisis. The event highlights how environmental destruction adds to existing inequalities and creates further obstacles to recovery, environmental justice and the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.
