“Fridays for Future” call for climate strike

The organization Fridays For Future (FFF) once again called for a climate strike in Vienna on Friday. Numerous participants gathered in front of the House of the European Union from 10 am.

Activists from Uganda and Botswana will also be present at the demonstration in front of the EU House. Activists from the "Parents For Future" movement are also expected to attend. This is because at the next climate conference, all states will negotiate how much money will be made available for steps to adapt to the climate crisis.

Human lives must be protected
"In order to protect human lives from the climate crisis in the future, the EU delegation must stand up for strong climate financing at COP29," they demand in a press release.

Politicians are doing too little
According to Fridays for Future, politicians are promising climate protection but are not doing enough. As at the previous demonstrations, the climate activists' banners also spoke a clear language.

Massive storm damage
The severe storm damage throughout Austria is also still causing massive costs. "The costs of climate damage are unbearable and those responsible must be made to pay for the necessary adaptation," warned the climate activists.
