Abstract
In November 2023, during the Amsterdam Climate March, Greta Thunberg invited a
Palestinian and Afghan guest speaker on stage. Thunberg argued that it is important to “listen
to the voices of those who are being oppressed”. Shortly after, she was disrupted by a man,
taking away her microphone saying: “I have come here for a climate demonstration, not a
political view”. This interruption was met with the following response, from Thunberg
herself as well as people from the crowd: “No climate justice on occupied land” (Middle East
Eye, 2023). This sentence is at the heart of this research: the possibility – or rather
impossibility – of environmental justice under conditions of systemic oppression.
