(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, DECEMBER 09 - "We must move from words to facts, enough with the climate target to 2030 or 2050, we need binding annual targets for reducing emissions".
Greta Thunberg said this at a press conference for the launch of the new mobilization of the Fridays for Future movement, next Friday, on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the signing of the Paris agreement.
"A lot has happened in five years but we are still at the stage of denial, yet the climate crisis is not a thing of the future, people are suffering now," added Thunberg.
Protests in over seventy cities around the world will take place online and offline, compatibly with the restrictive-Covid.
In Italy, activities are planned in Chieri, Turin, Pavia and Forlì.
Poland will anticipate tomorrow, when the climate movement in Warsaw joins the women's strike against abortion restrictions and the strike for the state of law.
"The issues are linked - said the Polish activist Dominika Lasota - because the veto of our government on the rule of law slows down the negotiations of the European leaders on the climate and threatens our right to demonstrate".
"We are worried", he added, appealing to the media "to give space to what happens in Poland tomorrow".
