Youth climate strike spreads across France

๐Ÿ“… 15 March 2019 ๐Ÿ“ France

Students and school pupils joined the first large global youth climate strike, with marches in Paris and many other French cities. The mobilization drew on school strikes inspired by Greta Thunberg and challenged governments over climate inaction. Young activists linked the climate emergency to intergenerational justice; a decolonial analysis also asks how climate harms, extraction and the costs of transition are distributed unequally across the Global North and South, including France's overseas territories.
