Ground Control is an agriculture and climate action camp that will take place in Amsterdam, from July 1st to 8th 2015.

**** The camp takes place in the western harbour of Amsterdam, at the roundabout between Hornweg and Australiëhavenweg, check the website for exact location and directions: https://www.groundcontrolcamp.net/en/ground-control-location/ ****

Since the environmental question entered the political debate, countless quick fixes have been developed to deal with some of the symptoms of climate change, leaving its root causes untouched. In December the “world leaders” will meet in Paris for COP21; yet another international climate summit after the previous failures. Meanwhile, the city of Amsterdam is planning to expand the activity in its port, which is the second largest throughput of coal in Europe and hosts some of the world’s most polluting companies.

The stakes are too high for us to remain silent observers in this game: we refuse to let corporate interests gain new ground. This time, we will play by our rules. More information on the website of the action camp. This website also contains more information about the programme you can expect at the action camp. A more detailed overview with workshops and times will be published on the site soon. Get ready for an inspiring week of fun and action!
