Parents around the world mobilise behind youth climate strikes
Parents and grandparents around the world are mobilising in support
of the youth strikes for climate movement that has swept the globe.
Under the banner Parents for the Future,
34 groups from 16 countries on four continents have issued an open
letter. It demands urgent action to fight climate change and prevent
temperatures rising by more than 1.5C, beyond which scientists say droughts, floods and heatwaves will get significantly worse.
“What our kids are telling us is what science has been telling us for
many years – there is no time left,” the letter says. “We now owe it to
them to act.”
