Sabotage for the climate? A court case from Sweden | Stefan Gsänger interviews Janine O’Keeffe
As the climate crisis is more and more escalating without appropriate reactions from governments, climate activists have started new forms of protest, including civil disobedience. Many of those cases have landed at courts and some public prosecutors have recently started action against climate groups which aim at criminalising whole organisations. Consequently, even the United Nations warned against one-sided, undemocratic action against climate groups.
Janine O’Keeffe is not only co-host of this podcast empower4climate, but also one of the founders of the new climate movement, starting in Sweden in 2018 and spreading across the globe. She has been involved in civil disobedience protest, by stopping traffic on a freeway in May 2022, and she will soon face her case to be processed at a Swedish court.
Stefan talks with Janine about why she sees the need to use such forms of protest, how she will justify her activities and how she expects the courts to decide. Which ways of action and protest promise to bring the necessary results, the effective mitigation of the climate crisis?
