The Fridays for Future climate strike begins

2024-04-19T17:20:09.672Z

Highlights: The Climate strike was called by Fridays For Future Italia, the Italian branch of the youth movement inspired by Greta Thunbrerg. Girls and boys combine climate issues with political and social issues, such as the request for a ceasefire in Palestine, school, the G7 in Puglia, trade union disputes such as those of the GKN, and the protest against the Mattei Plan, Eni, and the doubling of the TAP gas pipeline. For Leonardo Sordino, "we need a decisive push towards moving away from fossil fuels." The latest IPCC report is clear: the transition must be accelerated, accompanying it with measures to reduce inequalities, such as debt cancellation. The strike is expected to last until the end of the month.
