Vier Bewohner der Insel #Pari dürfen in der #Schweiz gegen den #Zementkonzern #Holcim klagen.
Das Zuger #Kantonsgericht erkennt ihre Forderung nach Beteiligung an Kosten klimabedingter Schäden als zulässig an. Holcim bestreitet die Zuständigkeit der Gerichte und legt Berufung ein.
Der Fall könnte weitreichende Folgen für große Emittenten haben, da ähnliche Verfahren weltweit zunehmen und der Druck auf Unternehmen wächst, ihre #Emissionen stärker zu senken.

How communities in #SacrificeZones suffer environmental injustices in #Mexico, #Chile, #Nigeria and #Indonesia (analysis)
Daniela Sepulveda and Angélica Arellano, 9 Apr 2025
"Across continents, 'sacrifice zones' resemble wounds carved deep into the fabric of our planet. These are regions where ecosystems and livelihoods have been ravaged by fossil fuel and other industries that promise progress but leave devastation in their wake. These are places where big business and transnational corporations are contaminating the rivers, darkening the skies, and making the soil barren; where the toll of development is paid in human suffering and ecological destruction.
"What unites these 'sacrifice zones' is the shared story of areas where prosperity for the few is built on the suffering of many, and where communities fight to mend the fractures inflicted upon their land, health and dignity.
"Here are four case studies highlighting the experiences of communities and civil society organizations collaborating with us in the Coalition for Human Rights in Development’s Community Resource Exchange.
"In the #TulaTepejiApaxco region, where the #Toltec plains once supported rich #biodiversity and #CulturalHeritage, the water and air are now saturated with pollution. This devastated landscape was declared both in 1975 and again in 2005 by the U.N. as one of the most polluted places on Earth, marking it as an #EnvironmentalDisaster zone. Since the early 20th century, the arrival of #CementPlants, #refineries, #ChemicalFactories, a #coal-fired power plant and #LimeKilns has transformed the region. Backed by all levels of government, these industries have destroyed the area’s ecological balance and ruined the health of its people, poisoning the water, air and soil with #ToxicWaste.
"Prominent among these polluters are cement giants like #Holcim, #CEMEX, #CementosFortaleza and #Clarimex, whose operations release harmful gases that exacerbate the region’s environmental and public health crises. One of the epicenters of this environmental catastrophe is the #TulaRiver, which receives 150,000 liters (nearly 40,000 gallons) of untreated wastewater every second from Mexico City and the Valley of Mexico. These 'black waters' are teeming with industrial and hospital waste plus sewage, overwhelming the river and its tributaries.
"The #EndhóDam, originally built to support local #agriculture, has become a toxic dumping ground, poisoning thousands of people who rely on wells for drinking water. Despite decades of warnings, local and national governments have allowed this contamination to persist. The poisoned waters have killed fish, flooded the land with toxic sludge, and led to a surge in cancer, leukemia, respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases among the 15,000 inhabitants living along its banks. In 2021, a devastating flood related to the overflowing Tula River left 17 dead and displaced thousands, a stark reminder of the ongoing risks of government inaction.
"The region now faces a massive public health crisis, and the recent declaration by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources to designate the area as an ecological restoration zone is a necessary but overdue step. This declaration covers municipalities such as #Atitalaquia,TepejiDelRío, #Tepetitlán and Tlahuelilpan, where 498 businesses have been identified as generators of hazardous waste, including 14 that produce hydrocarbons. The study, based on a water, air and soil analysis, could mark the beginning of recovery if it is implemented with urgency and seriousness.
"Over the years, organizations like #RedDeConcienciaAmbiental '#QueremosVivir' have resisted, bringing visibility to the devastation and fighting to halt deforestation and continued pollution. In the words of one of the leaders of Queremos Vivir ('We want to live'), 'There needs to be a legal solution, because it’s that urgent. We believe there is still a way to reverse it, and we have time to show the newly elected president #ClaudiaSheinbaum the dire situation we’re in.'
"Their demands include a reduction in the water flow of the Tula River through holistic water management solutions, and government accountability for decades of environmental neglect, calling for reparations for both industrial pollution and the catastrophic 2021 floods.
"While they welcome Sheinbaum’s promises to clean the river and launch a circular economy project, they emphasize that meaningful environmental justice must not be delayed any longer. After stating the communities’ demands through tears, the Queremos Vivir leader said, 'Are we really just going to be destined to be a sacrifice zone? The damage is so severe, the degradation we are in, that if we don’t protect it, don’t defend it, then what are we going to do?' "

"While they welcome Sheinbaum’s promises to clean the river and launch a circular economy project, they emphasize that meaningful environmental justice must not be delayed any longer. After stating the communities’ demands through tears, the Queremos Vivir leader said, 'Are we really just going to be destined to be a sacrifice zone? The damage is so severe, the degradation we are in, that if we don’t protect it, don’t defend it, then what are we going to do?' "

Klimaklagen, oder: "this time will be different, promise!"
"#Klimaklage in der Schweiz: Inselchen gegen Zement-Giganten. 4 Indonesier*innen verklagen #Holcim wegen ihrer Mitschuld am Klimawandel. Sie wollen Schadensersatz und Klimaschutz erzwingen."

Vier Bewohner:innen der indonesischen Insel Pari verklagen den Zementriesen #Holcim wegen Überschwemmungen 🌊🏝️. Hintergrund: Holcim soll für 0,42 % der weltweiten CO₂-Emissionen verantwortlich sein. Ein Prozess mit Signalwirkung! 🔥 #Klimagerechtigkeit #Pari #CO2 https://www.srf.ch/news/wirtschaft/klimaklage-gegen-zementriesen-wer-traegt-die-verantwortung-fuer-das-sinken-von-pari-holcim #newz

Der Klimawandel lässt den Meeresspiegel steigen und zerstört so die Existenz der Menschen auf der indonesischen Insel #Pari. Nun fordern vier Bewohner*innen Gerechtigkeit: Am 3. September 2025 findet vor dem Kantonsgericht Zug findet eine erste Verhandlung in der Klimaklage statt. ✊🌏 Der weltweit größte Zementhersteller und einer der 50 größten CO₂-Emittenten weltweit #Holcim hat fast doppelt so viel CO₂ ausgestoßen wie die Schweiz. Darum läuft die Klimaklage gegen den Konzern. Die Kläger*innen fordern eine Entschädigung und dass Holcim seine Emissionen senkt.

Récit d’une dérive anti-démocratique. Récapitulatif de la répression contre l’occupation du Bois de Bellens (Suisse).
Rappel dur l’occupation :
Lieu hautement stratégique dans le grand jeu capitaliste des cimentiers de la région pour ses sous-sols riches en graviers et en sable, le Bois de Ballens est aujourd'hui menacé par leurs véléités extractivistes et écocidaires.
Sous cette forêt, et les écosystèmes qu'elle habrite, se trouve le plus grand gisement de sable et de graviers du canton, soit 18,5 millions de m3. Cette carrière deviendrait alors la plus grande carrière du Canton de Vaud, 6 fois plus grande que celle du Mormont! Depuis de nombreuses années, les géants Holcim et Orlatti se disputent ce bois du Pied du Jura vaudois au new et à la barbe de la population locale qui voit déjà sa région détruire jour après jour par l'insatiable et égoiste appétit de ces entreprises.
Afin de s'opposer à ce processus de marchandisation du vivant nous avons décidés d'occuper la forêt!🌲🌲

Ein multinationaler Konzern ist Ziel einer Zivilklage wegen seiner Rolle beim #KlimaWandel. Es handelt sich um #Holcim (das 2015 Lafarge gekauft hat, kurz nach den Schmiergeldern an die Terrororganisation "Islamischer Staat").
Das Kantonsgericht Zug hat entschieden, "dass die Gerichts- und Anwaltskosten vom Staat getragen werden."
