In #NYC and elsewhere, #ClimateProtesters say pace of change isn’t fast enough
By SETH BORENSTEIN
September 20, 2024NEW YORK (AP) — "Six years after a teenage #GretaThunberg walked out of school in a solitary #Climate{rotest outside of the Swedish parliament, people around a warming globe marched in youth-led protest, saying their voices are being heard but not sufficiently acted upon.
"Emissions of heat-trapping gases and temperatures have been rising and #OilAndGas drilling has continued even as the protests that kicked off major weeklong climate events in New York City have become annual events. This year, they come days before the #UnitedNations convenes two special summits, one concentrating on #SeaLevelRise and the other on the future.
"The young people who organized these marches with #FridaysForFuture said there is frustration with inaction but also hope. People marched in #Berlin, #RioDeJaneiro, #NewDelhi and elsewhere, but the focus often is in New York City because of #ClimateWeekNYC. Diplomats, business leaders and activists are concentrating their discussions on the money end of fighting #ClimateChange — something not lost on protesters.
"'We hope that the government and the financial sector make polluters pay for the damage that they have imposed on our environment,' said #Uganda Fridays for Future founder #HildaFlaviaNakabuye, who was among a few hundred marching in New York Friday, a far cry from the tens of thousands that protested in a multi-group mega-rally in 2023.
"The New York protest wants to take aim at 'the pillars of #FossilFuels” — companies that #pollute, banks that fund them, and leaders who are failing on climate, said Helen Mancini, an organizer and a senior at the city’s Stuyvesant High School."
