Action campaign underway in Grimsås!

Now we're kicking Neova out

For three weeks we will be at Grimsås bog. So far, over 90 ordinary people from Sweden and Scandinavia have planned to travel here to disrupt Neova's destruction of the bog and the Finnish state's climate-damaging peat mining here in Västra Götaland.

The verdict on the Grimsås 2024 actions is in

Why resistance?

It is about much more than just wetlands.

Science indicates that we are heading towards a global civilisational collapse and mass extinction, yet politicians are allowing continued destruction to take us to the brink.

Who are we?

We exist because our politicians have long since betrayed all of humanity. It is now up to the people to do what those in power refuse to do - protect life and each other.
We do this by acting peacefully and effectively.

About us

Our vision

We want the people to decide through citizens' councils how to make Sweden a great country that cares for its people.
Through an unprecedented transition, we will achieve a society free of greenhouse gas emissions and toxins, where the world's children can grow up safe and healthy.

The analysis, which spans from the movement's inception in 2022 until the movement declared victory for its wetland restoration demand in April 2024, provides strong support for Restore Wetlands' strategies and tactics and identifies a series of successes.

About the latest wave of action

During Easter we were at airports all over the country!

On 26 April, we took the final action of a series of actions at various airports in April. We have sounded the alarm because the climate is failing.

Our goal is a total ban on peat mining.

It is one of the simplest, cheapest and most effective things we can do to reduce carbon emissions.
Peat mining emits many times more than domestic aviation.
What are we waiting for?

Give 1% of your salary for the climate

According to a study in Nature, 69% of the world's population is willing to give 1% of their salary to the fight against global warming. If you are one of them, you can easily give a gift to the fight.

Take the chance and support Sweden's most radical climate movement.
We have a plan on how to stop emissions and reach our vision.

For this we need enough money.

Where do we stand?

You are in a revolutionary time

The elite and those in power have forced you into a revolutionary situation. Because if our societies collapse, this century is the last chapter of humanity.

Humanity has reached a tipping point: the odds are against us and we need to do the impossible to save our civilisation and life on Earth from unimaginable suffering and global collapse.

But an act of love is performed no matter what the odds. Because without love, we can neither live nor survive.

Humans have defied the odds before with their will and co-operation - we can do it again. History has shown this, time and time again.

Which side of history do you want to be on?
