Greta Thunberg has announced a new “global climate strike” as she plans a worldwide mass protest.
The climate activist took to social media to announce that Fridays for Future, her global climate strike movement, would be protesting worldwide on September 15.
As stated on the movement’s website, the strikers are demanding an end to fossil finance, a phase-out of fossil fuels, investments in renewable energy projects and reparations for communities harmed by the climate crisis.
The 20-year-old took to social media to share the news: “After a summer full of extreme weather and shattered records, the world is still gearing up towards climate catastrophe. We need climate activists now more than ever. On Sept 15th we’ll once again strike for climate justice, to #EndFossilFuels”
Thunberg posted on social media about the latest planned strike
PAThunberg’s announcement of the strike was posted alongside a picture of her holding a placard which featured a quote from United Nations chief Antonio Guterres.
The sign read: “Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels. Investing in new fossil fuels is moral and economic madness.”
Thunberg’s protests have even appeared to have forced people to start adapting their habits.
In Switzerland, 30 per cent of people said they had adopted more eco-friendly habits because of Thunberg, according to a study by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne.
The Swiss study claimed that ever since the 20-year-old began her strikes, people have started to change their lifestyles to become more eco-friendly.
Transportation, shopping habits and recycling were identified in the study as the areas people believed they had changed their approach to.
Lead researcher Livia Fritz said the results showed “that people have become more aware of how their behaviour affects the environment”.
Respondents said they were more willing to reduce their meat intake, avoid flying where possible and look for more organic local products.
GRETA THUNBERG LATEST:
30 per cent of Swiss people said they had changed their lifestyle habits after Thunberg began her strikes back in 2018
PAMany of those surveyed said that they were already sensitive to environmental issues prior to making any lifestyle changes.
Researchers surveyed 1,206 people in October and November 2019.
The respondents accurately represented the demographics of the Swiss population as a whole in terms of gender and age.
However, those with a higher level of education were proportionally overrepresented.
