The New York protest wants to take aim at ‘the pillars of fossil fuels’ – companies that pollute, banks that fund them, and leaders who are failing on climate, an organizer said
Activists geared up Friday for protests around the world to demand action on climate change just as a pair of major week-long climate events were getting under way in New York City.
In Berlin, dozens of people took to the streets although in fewer numbers than in previous years. Activists held up signs saying “Save the Climate” and “Coal is Over!” as they watched a gig put on outside the German Chancellor’s Office. Protesters in London held up letters spelling out “Pay up,” calling for the country to pay more to adapt to climate change and transition away from fossil fuels.
In the six years since Thunberg founded what became Fridays for Future, global carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels has increased by about 2.15 per cent, according to Global Carbon Project, a group of scientists who monitor carbon pollution. The growth of emissions has slowed compared to previous decades and experts anticipate peaking soon, which is a far cry from the 43 per cent reduction needed to keep temperature increases to an agreed-upon limit.
