Events around the world for Greta Thunberg and the climate

Since the beginning of September, Greta Thunberg has been on Parliament Hill Friday to protest that politicians do not take the climate issue seriously enough. The 15-year-old campaign has attracted media from around the world and support events are taking place in many parts of the world this Friday.

In Sweden, the climate change network has launched the Facebook page and hashtag #FridaysforFuture to bring together those who support the Greta Thunberg match.
"The initiative taken by Greta Thunberg brought a lot of hope and commitment to people, and today we are demonstrating in a lot of places in Sweden and around the world. the climate calls for demonstrations to be distributed to all municipalities in Sweden on Friday 30 November, ie on Friday before the next climate summit, "said Torbjörn Vennström, press officer for the sustainability of the event. climate.

During a speech at a Wednesday climate event in London, Greta Thunberg said the climate campaign demanded that people revolt and call for peaceful civil disobedience . Torbjörn Vennström says that he does not know if this call will lead to civil disobedience during today's protests.
– Each organization must take a stand on how it addresses civil disobedience. The Climate Network is only a platform, so I do not represent any organization. But, in my opinion, it may take more civil disobedience in the future if politicians can not solve this problem. Many organizations are already using peaceful civil disobedience as a method, such as Greenpeace. But I think that actions that use this method work better if you have a clear recipient or a domain you want to pay attention to, such as the financial sector. The climate events held on Fridays are intended more to show people's commitment to these issues.
