We will not stand idle. We will not allow the capitalist system to burn us all. We will take action and address the root causes of climate change by changing the system. The time has come to stop talking and to take action.
The capitalist system has exploited and abused nature, pushing the planet to its limits, so much so that the system has accelerated dangerous and fundamental changes in the climate.
Today, the severity and multiplicity of weather changes – characterized by droughts, desertification, floods, hurricanes, typhoons, forest fires and the melting of glaciers and sea ice – indicate that the planet is burning. These extreme changes have direct impacts on humans through the loss lives, livelihoods, crops and homes all of which have led to human displacement in the form of forced migration and climate refugees on a massive an unprecedented scale.
Humanity and nature are now standing at a precipice. We can stand idle and continue the march into an abysmal future too dire to imagine, or we can take action and reclaim a future that we have all hoped for.
We must nurture, support, strengthen and increase the scale of grassroots organizing in all places, but in particular in frontline battlegrounds where the stakes are the highest.
Leave more than two thirds of fossil fuel reserves under the soil, as well as beneath the ocean floor, in order to prevent catastrophic levels of climate change.
Ban all new exploration and exploitation of oil, tar sands, oil shale, coal, uranium, and natural gas.
Support a just transition for workers and communities away from the extreme energy economy and into resilient local economies based on social, economic and environmental justice.
Decentralize the generation and ownership of energy under local community control using renewable sources of energy. Invest in community based, small-scale, local energy infrastructure.
Stop building mega and unnecessary infrastructure projects that do not benefit the population and are net contributors to greenhouse gasses like, mega dams, excessive huge highways, large-scale centralized energy projects, and superfluous massive airports.
End the dominance of export-based industrial forms of food production, (including in the livestock sector), and promote small-scale integrated and ecologically sound farming and an agriculture system that ensures food sovereignty, and that locally grown crops meet the nutritional and cultural needs of the local community. These measures will help to cool the planet.
Adopt Zero Waste approaches through promoting comprehensive recycling and composting programs that end the use of greenhouse gas emitting incinerators – including new generation hi-tech incinerators – and landfills.
Stop land grabbing and respect the rights of small farmers, peasants and women. Recognize the collective rights of indigenous and tribal peoples consistent with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including their rights to their lands and territories.
Develop economic strategies that create new kinds of 'climate jobs' – decent paying jobs that directly contribute to carbon reductions – in such sectors as renewable energy, agriculture, public transportation and building retrofits.
Recover the control of the public sources to finance projects for people and nature like health, education, food, employment, housing, restoration of water sheds, conservation and restoration of forest and other ecosystems and others and stop the subsidies to dirty industries, agribusiness and military industry.
Take cars off the roads by building clean public transport infrastructure that is adaptive to local, non-combustion energy sources, and make it accessible and affordable to everyone.
Stop and reverse corporate driven free trade and investments agreements that promote trade for profit and destroy the labor force, nature and the capacity of nations to define their own policies.
Stop the corporate capture of the economy and natural resources for the profit of Transnational Corporations.
Dismantle the war industry and military infrastructure in order to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of warfare, and divert war budgets to promote genuine peace.
With these measures we will be able to achieve comprehensive employment for all because built into this systemic change there will be more and better quality jobs than currently exist within the capitalist system. With these measures we will be able to build an economy that serves the people and not the capitalists. We will stop the endless degradation of the earth's land, air, and water and preserve the health of humans and the vital cycles of nature. We will avoid forced migration and millions of climate refugees.
System change requires an end to the global empire of transnational corporations and banks. Only a society that has the type of democratic control over resources which is based on workers (including migrant workers), indigenous and women's rights and respects the sovereignty of the people will be able to guarantee economic, social and environmental justice. System Change requires a break from the patriarchal society in order to guarantee women's rights in all aspects of life. Feminism and ecology are key components of the new society that we are fighting for.
We need a new system that seeks harmony between humans and nature and not an endless growth model that the capitalist system promotes in order to make more and more profit. Mother Earth and her natural resources cannot sustain the consumption and production needs of this modern industrialized society. We require a new system that addresses the needs of the majority and not of the few. We need a redistribution of the wealth that is now controlled by the 1%. And we also need a new definition of wellbeing and prosperity for all life on the planet under the limits of our Mother Earth.
While there will still be a battle inside the international UN climate negotiations, the main battlegrounds will be outside and will be rooted in the places where there are frontline struggles against the fossil fuel industry, industrial agriculture, deforestation, industrial pollution, carbon offsets schemes, and REDD-type carbon offsets projects, all resulting in land and water grabbing and displacements taking place all over the world.
The United States, Europe, Japan, Russia and other industrialized countries, as the main historical carbon emitters, should implement the biggest emissions reductions. China, India, Brazil, South Africa and other emerging economies should also have targets for emission reductions based on the principles of common but differentiated responsibility. We do not accept that on behalf of the right to development several projects for more unsustainable consumption and exploitation of nature are being promoted in developing countries only to benefit the profits of the 1%.
The fight for a new system is also the struggle against false solutions to climate change. If we don't stop them they will disrupt the Earth's System and deeply affect the health of nature and all life. We therefore reject techno-fix "solutions" like geo-engineering, genetically modified organisms, agrofuels, industrial bioenergy, synthetic biology, nanotechnology, hydraulic fracturation (fracking), nuclear projects, waste-to-energy generation based on incineration, and others.
We are also in opposition to those proposals that want to expand the commodification, financialization and privatization of the functions of nature through the so-called "green economy" which places a price on nature and creates new derivative markets that will only increase inequality and expedite the destruction of nature. We cannot put the future of nature and humanity in the hands of financial speculative mechanisms like carbon trading and REDD. We echo and amplify the many voices that are urging the European Union to scrap the EU Emissions Trading Scheme.
REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation), like Clean Development Mechanisms, is not a solution to climate change and is a new form of colonialism. In defense of Indigenous Peoples, local communities and the environment, we reject REDD+ and the grabbing of the forests, farmlands, soils, mangroves, marine algae and oceans of the world which act as sponges for greenhouse gas pollution. REDD and its potential expansion constitutes a worldwide counter-agrarian reform which perverts and twists the task of growing food into a process of "farming carbon" called Climate Smart Agriculture.
We must link social and environmental struggles, bring together rural and urban communities, and combine local and global initiatives so that we can unite together in a common struggle. We must use all diverse forms of resistance. We must build a movement that is based on the daily life of people that guarantees democracy at all stages of societies.
Many proposals already contain key elements needed to build new systemic alternatives. Some examples include, Buen Vivir, defending the commons, respecting Indigenous territories and community conserved areas, the rights of Mother Earth – rights of Nature, food sovereignty, prosperity without growth, de-globalization, the happiness index, the duties to and rights of future generations, the Peoples Agreement of Cochabamba and others.
We have all long hoped for the possibility of another world. Today, we take that hope and turn it into courage, strength and action – that together, we can change the system. If there is to be a future for humanity, we need to fight for it right now.
NO REDD+! – Decolonize the Earth and the Sky!
This proposed system change program provides the "content", which is helpful.
What we desperately need now is an outline of the "process" that will get us from where we are to where we want to be. As ever, that seems to be the sticking point.
This is an interesting piece, but what is needed is discussion about HOW to accomplish these goals. Far too often I go to conferences and people complain about problems and discuss in generalities what should be done. I would like to see meetings and conferences limit "problem presentations" to a small amount of time and make people talk about HOW. While the World Social Forum has been a great meeting place, perhaps it has been a failure in not developing people go back to their communities with a plan of action?
Ben Silverman has some ideas. What do you think of those?

A Tale Of Two Housing Tenders
by Michael Freund
http://www.michaelfreund.org/13631/israel-housing-tenders
For the second time in the past three months, Israel on Sunday declared its intention to build over 1,000 housing units in areas beyond the 1967 lines.
n a notice published on its website, the Housing Ministry said that public tenders for the construction of 1,187 new homes in eastern Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria were being issued.
This most recent declaration was greeted by howls of protest, with the Palestinian Authority, the U.S. State Department and the UK Foreign Office all going on record to condemn the move in no uncertain terms.
And yet, back in June, when Israel said it would build 1,140 homes near Palestinian-controlled Jericho, not a peep was heard from the international community.
And just why, you might be wondering, was this the case? What difference is there between these two plans that one would evoke global consternation while the other was greeted by the world with resounding silence?
The answer is as simple as it is revealing: the homes near Jericho are intended for Arabs, while those announced this week are slated for Jews.
As the Jerusalem Post reported on May 14, "The Civil Administration of Judea and Samaria has deposited a plan for a large project of 1,140 Palestinian homes on Israeli state land in Area C of the West Bank near the city of Jericho."
The 1,800-dunam project, the report said, "would provide a legal housing solution for Palestinians in that area living in illegal homes and unauthorized villages that are not properly connected to utilities, according to the civil administration."
Needless to say, after the Jericho project was announced, no one in the White House slammed any tables in anger, nor did the resident of 10 Downing Street spill his afternoon tea in dismay at the news.
In other words, President Barack Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron have no problem with Israeli housing construction in Judea and Samaria. As long, of course, as it is not meant for Jews.
The sheer hypocrisy of this stance is utterly contemptible and indefensible. No political or diplomatic excuse can conceal the fact that singling out Jewish housing construction for censure is a discriminatory and one-sided act.
Indeed, this is true for much of the criticism that is hurled regarding this subject.
For example, take the Palestinian claim that Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria should be frozen because it will impact the final outcome of the negotiations.
Just a few days ago, senior Palestinian negotiator Muhammad Shtayyeh reacted to Israel's announcement of new Jewish housing by declaring that the Jewish state was exploiting peace negotiations "as a smoke screen for more settlement construction."
Israel, he asserted, was seeking to "create new conditions on the ground in order to pre-empt the result of any negotiations."
This line of thinking is frequently parroted by various members of the international community too.
And yet, if that is the case, the same logic should apply to Palestinian Authority housing construction as well, for it too creates "facts on the ground" which could affect the final status of the territory.
As The New York Times reported on Saturday, the Palestinians are busy building a brand new city called Rawabi north of Ramallah and abutting the Jewish community of Ateret. The city's master plan calls for erecting 6,000 apartments that will house as many as 40,000 people. The Times noted that, "the sales team began marketing apartments here a few months ago," and the first phase of more than 600 apartments are said to have sold out.
Nonetheless, the U.S., the European Union and others remain thoroughly silent regarding the ongoing effort by the Palestinians to expand their presence and occupy additional land in Judea and Samaria at the expense of Israel and its legitimate claims.
This points up the double standard at work. Intellectual consistency demands that one either oppose construction by both sides or none at all.
To do otherwise is to adopt a position that is not in harmony with either fairness or logic. And that is why Israel was wise not to yield to Palestinian threats or other forms of foreign pressure which sought to impose a settlement freeze.
History, morality and justice are on our side, and we have every right to build in every corner of our ancient homeland. Demands that we desist from building while the Palestinians are free to rev up the bulldozers are simply partial and imbalanced.
Furthermore, every red-tiled home with a mezuzah on the door that goes up in the hills of Samaria or the cities of Judea is a tangible reminder that the Jewish people are here to stay.
And that, perhaps, is one of the best guarantees of our future.

ImagineIF Trustees Attempt to Censor Children's Book About Racism
Half of the board members made motions to remove or sequester the book, "Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness," before unanimously voting to create a special "parent resource" collection
By Micah Drew September 22, 2022

As the American Library Association celebrates the freedom to read through its "Banned Book Week," an annual campaign to raise awareness about the growing catalog of books beset by attempts to remove them from public schools and libraries, the ImagineIF Board of Trustees on Thursday met to discuss a request to remove another book from its collection — the third challenge the Flathead County library system has faced in the last year.
The most recent complaint centers on the book "Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness," by Anastasia Higginbotham, and was submitted by a Flathead County resident who wrote that the text is "prejudiced and antagonistic towards people of different ethnicities."
"This book creates shame and condemnation in children, while burdening them with the problem of racism," according to the written complaint. "Frankly, the statements made me uncomfortable as an adult."
The complainant did not defend her claims at the board meeting.
"Not My Idea" is a children's picture book that examines racism, racial justice and "how power and privilege factor into the lives of white children," according to a review. It has received critical acclaim, and is part of a children's series in which Higginbotham tackles the difficult issues of divorce, death, sex and racism. The book has also sparked backlash and been challenged in libraries nationwide, and was singled out by Texas lawmakers as a reason to support a bill restricting how schools can teach controversial subjects.

During public comment at Thursday's board meeting, several community members spoke out against restricting or removing material from the library's collection, stating that they deserved the right make their own reading decisions.
"It's so simple, if you don't like the book, don't check it out," Valeri McGarvey said. "I'm not afraid for my kids and my grandkids to learn about racism."
Only one person, Trish Pandina, spoke in favor of removing the book she felt was "teaching children to hate."
The board's discussion on the title began with a motion by the newest trustee, Carmen Cuthbertson, to remove the book from the collection.
This marks the second time the board has made motions to remove a book from the library's collection. In January, the trustees voted on two book challenges, "Lawn Boy" and "Gender Queer," unanimously voting to keep the former, while voting against retaining the latter. The final vote removing "Gender Queer" was indefinitely suspended pending changes to the library's collection policy.
Cuthbertson brought the initial challenge to "Gender Queer" prior to her appointment on the library board, making this the second title she has been in favor of removing.
"Contemporary nonfiction materials for children that affirm a racist skin color-based worldview, do not belong in the section of the 21st century library," Cuthbertson said of "Not My Idea".
"In my definition of book banning, removing a book from a public library which causes you to have to go buy it is not banning," Cuthbertson said. "My definition of banning is what a totalitarian government does."

The Free Speech Center at Middle Tennessee State University defines book banning as when "private individuals, government officials, or organizations remove books from libraries, school reading lists, or bookstore shelves because they object to their content, ideas, or themes," and adds that "to counter charges of censorship, opponents of publications sometimes use the tactic of restricting access rather than calling for the physical removal of books."
Trustee Dave Ingram made an amended motion to restrict access to the book, rather than remove it outright, saying he felt it was not appropriate for the intended audience.
"Children in this age group are not prepared to analyze concepts like this critically," Ingram said.
His suggestion was to sequester the title at a library advisor desk, under video surveillance, but to allow it to be freely accessed upon request.
"I believe that this material poses a potential threat to the safety and tranquility of our parents, our patrons and staff because of the volatile nature of the topics," Ingram said. "These include shaming, condemnation, intergenerational collective guilt, fostering fear and mistrust of law enforcement, instilling doubt regarding the goodness of one's own family and racism."
ImagineIF director Ashley Cummins opposed his suggestion.
"If we are going to sequester materials that someone finds inappropriate, we do not have a shelf or a desk large enough," Cummins said. "It is highly subjective, and I receive multiple complaints every day."
Cummins, and assistant director Sean Anderson, pointed out that the board had recently approved policies explicitly stating that it is a parent's responsibility to monitor what their children check out and read.
"I feel our library is assuming [the role of parents] when it puts these kinds of materials out," Cuthbertson said. "A library should not foist extremist material on children."
"When it comes to materials for adults, I understand that the library orders books that don't interest me, books I don't agree with, books about controversial topics, books with extremist viewpoints," Cuthbertson added. "That's how we expand our horizons, by coming across material that shows us a new idea, different opinion or experience. But I feel very strongly when it comes to other people's children. This thought process doesn't apply."
At times, a clearly furious Anderson shifted his chair to turn his back to the board members.
"I think this is an inappropriate decision you are discussing at this point," Anderson said. "It is abhorrent."
ImagineIF Library board member Doug Adams speaks at an ImagineIF Library board of trustees meeting in Kalispell on Dec. 2, 2021. Hunter D'Antuono | Flathead Beacon
At one point in the discussion, board chair Doug Adams interjected with his experiences growing up in the South, including what he characterized as his own prejudices. He told of refusing to go to a swim meet against another school that had mostly Black competitors, adding, "I have never been proud of that fact." He also told of being in Charlotte, North Carolina, when the bussing of Black students to public schools during desegregation began, and of watching race riots erupt in front of him.
"I've dealt with the fear of race all my life," Adams said, adding that in the years since he has had good friends, and ex-girlfriends, who were Black. "I chose to deal with my own racism because it's the right thing to do."
"The thing that offends me about this particular book is that she thinks that people should feel a false sense of guilt for the color that God made them," he added. "And so, is this book appropriate? Is it good for kids? I don't think so. But is it dangerous? I don't feel that it is."
Adams stated he would not vote to remove the book, and instead requested the creation of a special "parent resource" collection, that would include "Not My Idea," and other books where parents could choose to check them out for their children.
"While I appreciate this attempt to find a middle ground, my concern is that it feels very much like justifying the other comments that have been made by trustees," Anderson countered. "This motion is being made out of fear, out of distrust and disdain for these materials, out of a belief that they are dangerous and harmful to children. And that runs absolutely counter to the policies of this library."

The recently amended collection development policy states that "selection decisions are not influenced by the possibility that materials may be accessible to minors … classification should in no way represent a value judgment of the material … nor to subjectively identify certain philosophies."
When Anderson pressed Adams about board members making motions that run counter to board policy, Adams responded that they were entitled to their own opinions.
The implementation of a new section for "Not My Idea" passed unanimously.
A fourth book challenge for "Why Children Matter" by Douglas Wilson is still in the early stages of the review process and will be discussed at the board's October meeting.
"I don't think this reflects well on the library," director Cummins said after the meeting. "I'm glad the book was retained without any restrictions, but I think there are other potential problematic implications. I think problems may arise with what follows this book into that collection."
Cummins said the details of the new collection, including where it will be located, what additional titles it will include and who will make those decisions, will be discussed by the collection development team in October

Israel's Mossad trained and financed a terrorist group that carried out a series of Hollywood-style assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, unnamed US officials have revealed. Iran, however, believes the CIA was also sponsoring the killings.
Two senior US officials confirmed to NBC that People's Mujahideen of Iran dissident group (MEK) was to blame for the killing of Iranian scientists. "All your inclinations are correct," said one of the officials in an interview, while speaking about MEK's involvement in the assassinations and Israel's support for the group.
At the same time the officials have denied US involvement with the group. After the latest attack on January 11, 2012, Iran's Foreign Ministry claimed that it has evidence that the CIA provided "guidance, support and planning" for the operation.
The MEK is included in the official US Foreign Terrorist Organization list, which makes it prohibited for US intelligence units to co-operate with and gives them a solid pretext to disclaim any relation to it.
Since 2007 the assassination spree has left five top Iranian nuclear scientists dead and delivered a massive blow to the Iranian nuclear program. A suspicious blast at the Iranian missile R&D site that killed the director of missile development for the Revolutionary Guard also seems to be a part of the pattern, even though Iranian officials have declared it to be an accident.
After one of the attacks in 2010 was prevented and the Iranian government had a chance to interrogate the assassin, Iran has no doubts that the MEK, which is financed and trained by Israel, is behind the terror campaign against Iranian nuclear program.
"The relationship [between Israel and the MEK] is very intricate and close," Mohammad Javad Larijani, a senior aide to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, said in an interview with NBC.
Mossad is secretly training MEK agents in Israel, preparing them to carry out sophisticated operations, Larijani said. For one of the previous attacks Mossad had even replicated the house of a nuclear scientist to prepare MEK assassins, Larijani added.
In January's attack, the assailants used a small motorcycle to squeeze through the traffic and place a magnetic bomb on the vehicle of a deputy director of the Natanz uranium enrichment facility. A shaped charge killed only Mostafa Ahamdi Roshan and his driver, leaving no doubts that secret services were involved in the operation.
While the MEK is still listed in the US official terrorist group list, the group has managed to lobby for its removal from the terrorist lists of the UK and EU. And a number of former US high-rank officials, including former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge and former FBI Director Louis Freeh, support idea of the MEK's removal from the US terrorist list.

Spain ages. The average age of Spaniards has exceeded 44 years for the first time in 20 years, when the National Institute of Statistics (INE) began to collect data from the Continuous Register. According to the provisional data offered on Thursday, the average age of the country as a whole (which also includes foreigners) stands at 43.4 years, also the highest figure in the last two decades. It is the immigrants who moderate aging, given that in 2018 they had an average of 36.1 years - the largest figure since 2000-.
"It is the highest average age since there are records", explains Antonio Abellán, researcher of the Department of Population of the Superior Council of Scientific Investigations. "The INE collects these figures from 1998, but if you study the average age with data from the censuses, in 1910 it was 28.2 years, at the beginning of the 21st century, of 40. We have already surpassed 43 years. 21st century we will reach 50. The average age has skyrocketed, "he adds. "In recent years it has been increasing by the groups of the baby boom, a very large generation, which is now between 42 and 61 years old, "says Abellán.
Almost one in five people living in Spain is 65 or older, according to the provisional data released this Thursday by the INE. For the first time the barrier of nine million people in this age group has been exceeded. "It will increase, soon we will be in the 10 million, now some 500,000 will be 65 each year, in 2024 there will be 600,000, in 2033 there will be 700,000, there will be more life expectancy and numerous generations, such as the baby boom, will be arriving. these ages, "says Abellán.
According to the provisional data released this Thursday by the INE, the Spanish population exceeds 47 million inhabitants, a number that was not reached since 2013. In 2018, registered voters increased by 284,387 people (0.6%). This increase is also due to foreign citizens: the country added 290,573 immigrant arrivals last year (the figure is 6.1% more than in 2017, almost double the previous year, and the largest increase since 2008), while the net number of Spaniards decreased by 6,186 people (0.01% less).
With the provisional data, as of January 1, 2019, Spain has 47,007,367 registered persons. This continues with the trend that began in 2016, when there was an increase after four years of falls. 89.3% of the population, that is, 42 million people, have Spanish nationality and the remaining 10.7% are foreigners.
The number of immigrants has grown for the second year in a row, after his departure during the crisis. The number of registered foreigners was not above five million people since 2014. Among the latter, those belonging to the European Union increased by 36,049 (2%) and non-EU grew by 254,524 (8.6) %).
According to the data released on Thursday, four out of 10 people live in municipalities with more than 100,000 inhabitants (there are 63 in Spain). The population is divided almost half between men and women. In the last year, the population has decreased in four autonomous communities and has increased in the rest. In absolute terms, Castilla y León (with 10,950 fewer people), Extremadura (5,865) and Asturias (5,574) are the ones that lost most of their population. In relative terms, these three autonomies, which registered a loss of 0.5% of their citizens, also welcomed the greatest decreases in the census. On the contrary, the Community of Madrid (with 83,870 more people), Catalonia (72,634) and Comunidad Valenciana (37,165) experienced the largest population increases in absolute terms. Percentually, the greatest increases were in the Balearic Islands (1.8%), the Community of Madrid (1.3%) and the Canary Islands (1.2%).

San Juan, Wine Route
To the side of Route 40 in the north of San Juan, is an eighteenth-century villa, a bird sanctuary and an open-air classroom from where you may learn more about the history of the Earth.
In the north of the province of San Juan, 157 km from the capital city and 1.296 km from the city of Buenos Aires, at kilometer 324 of the mythical Route 40, is a wise and simple land where history, culture, traditions -ancestral and folkloric- coexist in beautiful natural settings. With a past as a historical and agricultural town and a present of tradition and adventures to discover, Jachal offers the Route of the Flour Mills, the beautiful landscapes of Cuesta de Huaco, and the Natural Protected Area called La Ciénaga.
Authentic works of human engineering, the Flour Mills of Jachal, built in the 19th century, speak of the agricultural past of the region and tell how the Jachal culture was forged: effort, ongoing work, and much passion, to sow the arid fields and cultivate the wheat with which the daily bread would be made. The Flour Mills, the García (O del Alto), de Reyes, de Huaco (O Dojorti) and de Sardiña (or de Santa Teresa), were declared a National Historical Monument in 2000, although only de Huaco and Molino del Alto mills are open to visitors. These mills are cultural heritage not only for their contribution to the regional economy but also for the architectural details of their buildings and the perfect mechanisms -based on the strength of the water of the rivers in Jachal.
The La Ciénaga Protected Area, 25 km north of the town of Jachal, and 10 km from the town of Huaco, is a must-see since its 9.600 hectares include traces of the history of the Earth, in addition to beautiful landscapes and the most diverse birds, which is why the followers of birwatching consider it a true 'sanctuary'. Its cultural, natural and paleontological richness and the value of its geological formations, similar to those of the Ischigualasto Provincial Park, were decisive for the declaration in 2005 of it as a Protected Natural Area. It is a relevant site for geotourism - and therefore known among the professionals of the activity as an 'open sky classroom' -, it is explored on foot, through marked trails, and/or by mountain bike.

UK touring artists demand EU-wide work permit for gigs post Brexit
Petition seeking parliament debate garners more than 174,000 backers as British artists warn of UK-EU deal's impact on travelling artists.

LONDON — British touring artists have called on the U.K. government to negotiate a work permit with the EU that allows them to travel for performances throughout the bloc's 27 member countries without the need to apply for a visa for each country.
A petition asking the U.K. parliament to debate this issue had been backed by more than 174,000 people as of Tuesday — many more than the 100,000 signatures needed to secure a debate.
At the moment, artists and their crews can travel freely from the EU to the U.K. and vice versa without applying for work permits or visas. But after the Brexit transition period ends on Thursday, this is likely to change.
The future relationship agreement struck by the EU and the U.K. on December 24 allows for workers in several industries to enter the EU without a visa, but does not name touring artists in that clause. The industry fears that in order to tour in the bloc, they may need to apply for visas for each country they intend to perform in. This would increase the costs of touring.
Freelance video technician Tim Brennan, who launched the petition, called for a "free cultural work permit that gives us visa free travel throughout the 27 EU states for music touring professionals, bands, musicians, artists, TV and sports celebrities that tour the EU to perform shows and events," as well as a "carnet exception" for touring equipment, allowing its import and export by artists without having to pay duty or VAT.
"After the end of the [Brexit] transition period, we face further hardship when trying to tour the EU on a professional basis, with potentially each country asking for its own visa that would be valid only for one trip," he wrote. "As a freelancer, I and many like me travel through the EU countless times a year on different tours and events; this will become impossible due to cost and time if we do not have visa free travel."
Responding to the future relationship agreement, Jamie Njoku-Goodwin, chief executive of the lobby group UK Music, said the deal left "many questions" for the industry, including "what it means for touring."
"The prime minister has promised there will be no non-tariff barriers, so it is vital that government delivers on this promise and ensures there are no barriers to British musicians working and touring through Europe," he said. "We will be seeking urgent reassurances on this from government."
A government spokesperson said the EU rejected an offer by the U.K. for a more ambitious agreement on the temporary movement of business travellers, which would have covered artists.
"We recognize that there could be some additional processes for those working in creative industries, but we have ensured that the visa application processes for longer-term business travel will be transparent to provide certainty and clarity," the spokesperson said.
