Press release
15th March 2019
1.4 million students across the globe demand climate action
GLOBAL - Over 1.4 million young students in more than 300 cities
across all continents took to the streets this March 15th on the first ever
global climate strike. Messages in more than 40 languages were loud and
clear: world leaders must act now to address the climate crisis and save our
future.
"The governments failed to respond properly to the dramatic
challenge of our climate crisis. Our generation, the least responsible for
the acts of the polluters, will be the ones to see the most devastating
impacts of climate change. World leaders are losing the window to act, but
we are not gonna stand still watching their inertia." Greta Thunberg.
In Europe hundreds of thousands of school strikes saw students
leaving their classrooms and joining the marches. France alone gathered 195
thousand in more than 110 cities.
In India, more than 15 cities were involved in the strikes. In
Colombia around 2.5 thousand gathered in the streets of Bogotá whilst Cape
Town reported 2000 and 1,000 in Hong Kong.
Despite years of talks, governments have lost many opportunities
to commit to concrete action and the global emission are reaching now an
inevitable level.
The most recent UN Environment report, released in Nairobi on
Wednesday, estimates that winter temperatures at the North Pole are likely
to rise by at least 3oC above pre-industrial levels by 2050. And that even
if global emissions were to halt overnight, winter temperatures in the
Arctic would still increase 4°C to 5°C by 2100 compared to the late 20th
century.
Over the coming months strikes are set to continue across the
globe,with organisers already planning the next ones.
In September world leaders will be gathered once again and will
have a chance to come with concrete, ambitious plans to reduce drastically
their national emissions by shifting off coal, oil and gas immediately. By
doing that they will show the young people that their voices were heard and
that their effort was not in vain.

QUOTE SHEET
“In India, no one talks about climate change. You don’t see it
on the news or in the papers or hear about it from government. We want
global leaders to declare a climate emergency. If we don’t act today, then
we will have no tomorrow. " - Vidit Baya, 17, Udaipur, India.
"We face heartbreaking loss due to increasingly extreme weather
events. We urge the Taiwanese government to implement mitigation measures
and face up to the vulnerability of indigenous people, halt construction
projects in the indigenous traditional realm, and recognise the legal status
of Plains Indigenous People, in order to implement environmental protection
as a bottom-up approach" - Kaisanan Ahuan, Puli City, Taiwan.
"We have reached a point in history when we have the technical
capacities to solve poverty, malnutrition, inequality and of course global
warming. The deciding factors for whether we take advantage of our potential
will be our activism, our international unity and our ability to develop the
art of making the impossible possible. Whether we succeed or not depends on
our political will" - Eyal Weintraub, 18, and Bruno Rodriguez, 18,
Argentina.
"I want to be certain that our government is committed to
investing in a just transition to a more sustainable country, that we will
lower carbon emissions and curb climate change. I am joining this strike to
demand that decisions are more future-focused and that policy will reflect
our environmental rights as written in our constitution" - Dona Van Eeden,
21, Cape Town, South Africa.
"The damage done by multinationals is enormous: the lack of
transparency, dubious contracts, the weakening of the soil, the destruction
of flora and fauna, the lack of respect for mining codes, the contamination
of groundwater. In Mali, the state exercises insufficient control over the
practices of the multinationals, and it is us, the citizens, who suffer the
consequences. The climate alarm has sounded, and the time has come for us
all to realise that there is still time to act locally, in our homes, our
villages, our cities" - Mone Fousseny, 22, Mali.
