Environmental Activists Disrupt UN Conference at Jesus College Over Alleged Greenwashing
Environmental activists from the Organisation of Radical Cambridge Activists (ORCA) disrupted a conference at Jesus College, organized by the UN Environment Programme. The event aimed to foster collaboration between business, finance, and conservation leaders. ORCA accused the conference of 'greenwashing,' claiming it included major polluters and companies with poor records on indigenous rights. Protesters picketed the entrance, distributed leaflets, and disrupted proceedings by playing loud noises. The conference, known as the Nature Action Dialogues, is an annual event that seeks to advance collaboration on biodiversity, climate, water, and health issues. ORCA criticized the presence of companies like Nestlé and Suzano, alleging they have histories of environmental and human rights violations. The protest highlighted the perceived hypocrisy of the event's goals versus the actions of its participants.
