1| Come to the Climate Camp:
(Climate) Camps are the heart of the climate movement. There will be workshops, action trainings, discussions, building windmills, music. Here we breathe the sweet scent of change and feel that we can empower ourselves to build a social, just and ecological society!
2| End Coal – at the right time at the right place!
The Rhineland lignite mining area with its 5 dirty power plants and 3 open cast mines is the biggest source of emissions in Europe. Here we can grab evil by its roots: Here we can stop coal exploitation! Take part in the actiondays of Ende Gelände (14. – 16.08.)!
3| Take part in the Degrowth Summer School at the Climate Camp
The degrowth and climate justice summer school is a project following the international Degrowth Conference in Leipzig 2014. Here concrete approaches will be developed to practically and politically implement Degrowth.
4| Don’t trust the authorities nor the COPs: Time to change things yourself!
We take responsibilty to fight for climate justice worldwide. We build up alternative projects and resist against destructive industries. Let’s work together! Together we are struggling against the capitalist and growth based system – System Change not Climate Change!
5| Refugees Welcome!
Storms, droughts and floods which are caused by climate change destroy the livelihood of many people. To fight against climate change also means to fight for the good life and in solidarity with the affected. For a world where people can decide freely where to go or stay!
As regards to risks and courses of action, ask your affinity- or local political group!

For everybody who want to join the climate camp: the venue changed! Please find all information in german and english below already and on
the homepages.
Shortly before the start of the Climate Camp and the Degrowth Summer
School, we are changing the venue of our camp. We have found an even
better place in close proximity to the open cast mine Garzweiler. The
new address is:
Lützerath 6
41812 Erkelenz
*The closest train station is still Erkelenz.* From there during the
week you can, as before, take Bus EK3 in the direction of „Erkelenz,
Keyenberg Schule“
and now get out after 23 minutes at „Lützerath Umgehung“. Then it's just
50m to the camp.
*Please note: *There are school holidays („Ferientage“) until the 11^th
of August in Northrhine-Westfalia, please consult the corresponding bus
schedule (page 3 of the pdf). Besides this, the bus doesn't always go
directly to „Lützerath Umgehung“. In this case, we recommend you to ask
the bus driver to let you out between the stops „Holzweiler“ and
„Keyenberg“. For more info on this, check out this map.
*At the weekend *there are the so called „Multibusse“, which have room
for seven people. The busses have to be booked an hour in advance via
phone (+49-(0)2431-886688) and cost the normal bus fare. However, there
are only four of these small buses in the region.
*Going by bike*it's approx. 10km from Erkelenz train station to the
camp. You can check out this possible bike route on openstreetmap.org.
On the homepage of the climate camp you can also find a platform for
*shared rides.*
