Global Climate Strike Brussels

  • Gare Centrale 14 Cantersteen Bruxelles, Bruxelles, 1000 Belgium (map)

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!
