CONCERT AND MARCH #NowForFuture
To mark the Global Climate Strike, Youth for Climate, Rise for Climate, Grootouders voor het Klimaat and others are calling for mobilisation to reaffirm to political leaders the importance of social and climate justice measures.
We want to appeal to the world's heads of state who are meeting at the UN for a world summit on the future on 22 and 23 September.

Launched by Fridays For Future in 2019 at the initiative of Greta Thunberg, the Global Climate Strikes bring together young people, citizens and organisations from all over the world to oppose the destruction of the climate and ecosystems.
The aim is to call on politicians again and again to take effective action in the face of the climate emergency.

We are calling for :
- Compliance with the Paris Agreement
- An end to fossil fuel subsidies
- EU countries to adopt the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty ( www.fossilfueltreaty.org )
- An ecological transition that respects people and is socially just
- The universal right to water for the 3 billion people who do not have access to drinking water and sanitation
Why take action:
We are the *last generation* able to do so before an unbearable world in which humanity and all living things will totally disappear. We *cannot* resign ourselves to the failure of the Green Deal and climate protection measures, in favour of profits and economic growth.
Austerity and ‘climate pause’ cannot be the answers to the global crisis we are going through! In solidarity with MAPA and the underprivileged classes, we are marching. We are together. We are determined.
On 20 September, let's all take to the streets for our future!

On September 25th we will gather in Brussels to manifest with knitted Red Lines from Belgium, Denmark, England, Finland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Scotland & Sweden.

We will gather at Place du Luxembourg in Brussels and have a ceremony where we hand over scarves to newly installed members of the EU-Parliament and then manifest together with our knitted RED LINE. Our demand is that EU and all other policy makers on earth respect the Paris Agreement and stay under the target goal of 1,5°C.

After 30-40 minutes we will take off and march to the alder tree planted in Brussels’ Ixelles district – known as Rosa’s tree. It is planted to commemorate Rosa, a young climate activist who tragically drowned in the flooding caused by climate change which took place July 14-15 2021. We will show her and all other victims of the ongoing climate crisis our respect and deep compassion.

All indicators are alarming: the ocean is overheating, and marine biodiversity is collapsing.This crisis not only threatens marine ecosystems but also poses a threat to the global climate and by extension, the survival of our species. The year 2025 offers a unique political opportunity to achieve concrete progress in ocean protection, thanks to the UN International Ocean Summit in June 2025 in Nice, France. In this context, a Citizens' Coalition for Ocean Protection, composed of 132 french NGOs, 120 public figures, and more than 45,000 citizens, has been formed to advocate for 15 essential points for the ocean, climate, and social justice.

On the occasion of the new European parliamentary session, BLOOM is organizing a mobilization campaign during an event in Brussels on October 16, 2024, and is expanding the coalition at the European level. Following the European legislative elections, we know that the majority of Members of the European Parliament will vote against protecting life unless we prevent them. At the dawn of a crucial European mandate in the face of urgent issues, BLOOM and youth organizations want to hold European institutions accountable for their responsibilities!
