Extinction Rebellion

XReadiness

The climate crisis is not a distant threat. It is already shaping our world through extreme weather, infrastructure stress, economic instability, and ecosystem collapse. Events like heat waves, droughts, floods, and storms are becoming more intense and frequent, putting stress on both the environment and all its inhabitants. Many systems we rely on, like electricity, banking, communication, water and food supplies, are fragile and interconnected. A single breakdown can ripple across society. This guide helps identify those weak points and offers real-world ways to prepare for them, empowering you to respond when the systems around you fail.

Ce que vous pouvez faire.

C'est maintenant qu'il faut agir.

Les approches traditionnelles telles que les pétitions, le lobbying, le vote et les manifestations n'ont pas fonctionné en raison des intérêts étroitement liés des forces politiques et économiques. Notre approche est donc celle de la désobéissance civile non violente et perturbatrice – une rébellion pour obtenir le changement, puisque tous les autres moyens ont échoué.

Rejoignez-nous et passez à l'action dès maintenant
