Reply To: Climate Crisis: Our Last Chance
Youth Strike 4 Climate said protests took place in more than 60 towns and cities, with an estimated 15,000 taking part.
The group, which helped coordinate the protests, has four key demands:
The government should declare a “climate emergency”
It should also inform the public about the seriousness of the situation
The national curriculum should be reformed to include “the ecological crisis”
The age of voting should be lowered to 16 so younger people can be involved in decision-making around environmental issues.
As an aside, of all the photos I saw, many showed more females than males taking part. I wonder if we can relate this to our upcoming conference, the motion of attracting to the Party more female members. If the environmental movement is the focus of female political activity, perhaps we should go to them, rather than wait for them to discover ourselves.
