MOVEMENTS RISE UP AGAINST FUKUSHIMA WASTE DUMPING

Activists across Asia and all over the world took to the streets to protest Japan’s dumping of nuclear-contaminated wastewater into the Pacific Ocean. The Fossil Fuel Treaty network stands in solidarity with our civil society members and movements who are standing up against this injustice. A Fossil Fuel Free Pacific cannot be the dumping ground for nuclear waste. During a solidarity march in Suva, Fiji, Pacific Conference of Churches' General Secretary and Fossil Fuel Treaty Champion Reverend James Bhagwan called this an opportunity to “remind the Japanese government that the Pacific ocean is not for sale”—and urged other countries to make their stand against this issue known.
