Everywhere tomorrow people will take to the streets again to demonstrate for climate justice.

There will also be a bicycle demo in Nuremberg - with different demands.

Nuremberg

- On Friday (March 18) it will be said again for the activists of the Fridays for Future movement: “The planet needs us”.

The activists take to the streets around the world for the 7th global climate strike to demonstrate for real and fair crisis management.

The motto of the strike is "NoMoreEmptyPromises - No more empty promises".

A bicycle demo is therefore also planned in Nuremberg *, which will start with a rally at 2.30 p.m. on the Kornmarkt.

The focus of the demonstration is climate justice.

The Nuremberg activists demand "but also a traffic turnaround, a system change and demonstrate for feminism", as the activist Rosa Buchner

explains in an interview with

nordbayern.de

.

Above all, stopping the expansion of the Frankenschnellweg is an important point.

The activists consider the compromise that the Bund Naturschutz has made with the Free State of Bavaria to be too lax.

"We want to have a completely car-free city center as soon as possible - preferably immediately," Buchner told

Nuremberg: Activists demand climate justice, traffic turnaround and system change

The activists are disappointed by the city council *, as it does not want to reduce the city's CO2 emissions by 95 percent until 2050.

That is way too late.

According to Rosa Buchner, one must become climate neutral in the next few years.

In addition, the students want there to be new indicators of wealth.

Countries like Iceland, New Zealand and Norway are already doing this nicely, explains Buchner

nordbayern.de

.

“There, prosperity is also defined by factors such as the mental health of the population or access to living space or green spaces,” she says.

Feminism is another point of tomorrow's demonstration.

How does that fit together with climate change?

"Women are much more often affected by the consequences of natural disasters," Buchner told

nordbayern.de

.

"If wells dry up due to droughts, further routes to the water supply must be covered in many regions of the world".

Often women and girls are then the ones to suffer.

There are also connections in the traffic turnaround.

Men and women cover different traffic routes, but this is not taken into account in traffic planning, explains Buchner

nordbayern.de.

Since several hundred bicycles are expected at tomorrow's demonstration, the police are warning Middle Franconia * of traffic obstructions until around 5 p.m.

In other cities too, people take to the streets for climate justice.

In Freising, the climate activists have come up with a special action on the bridge *.
