Unusual occurrences are taking a toll on our usual routines.
The world is gearing up for a global protest on September 20th, with the motto #DrawTheLine calling for climate justice, bold change, and a livable future. Protests are planned in various locations, including indigenous communities in Canada, London, fishing villages in the Philippines, schoolchildren in Australia, and across Germany.
In Germany, the protests are being held under the motto #ExitGasEnterFuture, demanding an immediate halt to all new natural gas projects. The German federal government's support for new gas drilling and power plants is seen as fueling the climate crisis. Economics Minister Katherina Reiche is blocking the expansion of renewables and sabotaging the energy transition.
Friedrich Merz and his associates are making policy for fossil companies and against the general public. Investing in fossil infrastructure now is gambling with the future and exacerbating suffering in other parts of the world due to the climate crisis. Natural gas is not a harmless transition, but an extremely climate-damaging accelerant.
The climate crisis is already causing destruction of lives worldwide. The last years have been marked by insufficient compromises, disputes, and dissatisfaction in international climate cooperation. The UN General Assembly will begin in New York City, preparing for the UN Climate Conference in Brazil.
On this day, organizations worldwide will raise calls for clear measures against fossil fuel extraction. Public awareness and protest activities typically include environmental NGOs and civil society groups advocating for fossil fuel phase-out and climate action. The protesters aim to demonstrate their courage, radical hope, and unstoppable fight for their existence and justice.
Tips for proper behaviour, such as filling water bottles for free and using sunscreen, are widely available. Summer is briefly returning in early July, after seeming to have ended in early September. As the world unites to demand significant change in the face of the climate crisis, it's essential to remember that every action counts towards a sustainable future.
The global protests aim to call for global unity in times of isolation. The motto #DrawTheLine serves as a reminder that we must stand together to protect our planet and secure a livable future for generations to come.
