The Green Queen 👑

Dear Royal Subjects,  

We're happy to announce that Royal Blue is now Royal Green: The Queen is irritated by climate inaction. Prince William blasts the billionaire space race, whilst Prince Charles supports the Sustainable Markets Initiative. 

As the UK prepares for COP26 will Governments listen to the Royal plea?
And if so, should the Queen order a royal rewilding too?

BIODIVERSITY

ROYAL REWILDING

The Royal Estates make up a size twice of that of Greater London (1.4% of UK land/850,000 acres).They are mainly made up of grouse moors and deer-stalking lands, and are pretty much an ecological disaster.

Last week young protestors rallied in front of Buckingham Palace to deliver their open letter signed by over 100,000 people. Their request is simple: royals if you really care about nature then rewild your backyards.

LAW

THE PLANET VS BOLSONARO 

Last week Bolsonaro was taken to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. The landmark case known as The Planet Vs. Bolsonaro was initiated by our partner NGO AllRise.

AllRise is a global collective of over 100 international lawyers, activists, climatologists and entrepreneurs. This last year they have been ardently working together to provide the ICC with irrefutable evidence of Bolsonaro's involvement in mass deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon.
 

By successfully suing the Bolsonaro administration, AllRise wants to set a precedent for future environment related prosecutions. This case aims to establish mass deforestation as a crime against humanity and make it functionally illegal and punishable. 

Support their case.
