Stine Bardeleben Helles
Forperson, Klimabevægelsen i Danmark "Jeg støtter Stop Ecocide fordi klimaforandringer er det ultimative ecocide. Klimaforandringer og natur hænger uløseligt sammen: Uden en levedygtig natur, intet stabilt klima. Og uden et stabilt klima, ingen levedygtig natur."
Chairwoman, The Danish Climate Movement
"Climate change is the ultimate ecocide.
Without functioning ecosystems the climate will not be stable, and without a stable climate the ecosystems will not function."
