MyRight is one of 111 civil society organizations now urging the government not to sacrifice support for environmentalists, democracy movements, women's advocates, civil rights defenders and LGBTQI organizations around the world.
The article, whose signatures are coordinated by CONCORD Sweden, is now published in local newspapers around the country, including Östersundsposten.
This is how the organizations write:
“One of the least noticed - but most startling - consequences of the spring budget is the government's broken promises of climate finance and sustainable development. This area is downgraded more than most areas in the development assistance budget, despite previous promises of sharply increased international climate funding. Support for the global climate funds will be reduced by a total of SEK 1 billion, almost halving. ”
