'Fridays for Future': Activists in Bern demand climate strike ahead of COP26

'Fridays for future': Greta Thunberg comes in support of young climate activists in Milan, ahead of COP 26

<p>Weeks before the UN COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, UK, thousands of people across 99 countries took to the streets in a coordinated global strike, demanding urgent action to tackle the environmental crisis.</p>

<p>“The concentration of CO2 in the sky hasn't been this high for at least 3 million years,” Thunberg told a crowd of thousands of protesters in Berlin.</p>

<p>“It is clearer than ever that no political party is doing close to enough,” she was quoted as saying.</p>

Global climate strike: Thousands rally across the world demanding urgent action

<p>Swedish environmental activist&nbsp;Greta&nbsp;Thunberg will&nbsp;feature on a postal stamp in her native country that will be issued on Thursday and is part of a series focusing on the environment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thunberg will join a hall of fame of Swedish personalities, from Zlatan Ibrahimovic to&nbsp;Greta&nbsp;Garbo, who have been depicted on the country's postage stamps.</p>

<p>The stamps go on sale from PostNord on Thursday and show Thunberg in her familiar yellow raincoat standing on a rocky coast looking out at a flock of birds.</p>

<p>Sweden's postal service PostNord said in a statement the stamps&nbsp;“should reflect our time, where the environmental issue has been relevant and present for many years, not least through Greta Thunberg’s strong voice.”</p>

<p>"We hope that, as a big company, we can shine a light on the very important climate question, with the help of a little stamp," said Kristina Olofsdotter, head of PostNord's stamp division.</p>

<p>Several million of the stamps will be issued, Olofsdotter said, adding: "There will be a lot of&nbsp;Gretas flying around."</p>

<p>Thunberg rose to global fame in 2018 after she began skipping school to protest, alone with a homemade sign, outside the Swedish parliament in Stockholm, demanding that her government take action on climate change.</p>

<p>Within months, more than 2 million students in 135 countries had set up their own picket lines, joining Thunberg's "School strike for the climate" campaign.</p>

<p>In 2019, Thunberg took a year out from school to cross the globe by car, train and boat - but not plane - to demand action on climate change, a trip that involved a brush with US&nbsp;President Donald Trump and a speech at the United Nations climate summit.</p>

<p>Thunberg's movement, Fridays for Future, approved of the image on the stamp but played no part in its design, Olofsdotter said.</p>

<p>Other stamps in the collection have an environmental theme, including depictions of Swedish mountains, lakes and forests.</p>

Climate campaigners have returned to the streets. The pandemic is far from over. But, young climate activists say they will continue their campaign for climate action. Palki Sharma Upadhyay tells you more.

Gravitas: Global climate strikes resume

Climate activists led by Greta Thunberg staged a protest outside the Swedish parliament in Stockholm on Friday (September 25). The demonstration, organised by the Fridays For Future movement, was part of a series of world-wide protests that were expected to be confined to small gatherings and online activism due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

<p>Climate activist <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/greta-thunberg-steals-the-spotlight-at-davos-summit-276455">Greta Thunberg</a> has applied to register her name and her global campaign ''<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/who-is-greta-thunberg-275649">Fridays For Future</a>'' which she had founded in 2018.</p>

<p>The 17-year-old took to Instagram on Wednesday to express her annoyance and to inform her followers of the future course of action of her campaign.</p>

<p>"My name and the #FridaysForFuture movement are constantly being used for commercial purposes without any consent whatsoever," she wrote in a post she shared her Instagram account.</p>

<p>She complained that "there are still people who are trying to impersonate me or falsely claim that they 'represent' me in order to communicate with high profile people, politicians, media, artists etc."</p>

<p>There had also been incidents of marketing, selling products and collection of money "in my and the movement's name," she wrote.</p>

<p>"That is why I've applied to register my name, Fridays For Future as trademarks. This action is to protect the movement and its activities."</p>

I assure you, I and the other school strikers have absolutely no interests in trademarks. But unfortunately it needs to be done. Fridays For Future is a global movement founded by me. It belongs to anyone taking part in it, above all the young people. It can - and must - not be used for individual or commercial purposes. And third: together with my family I’m setting up a foundation. It’s already registered and existing, but it not is not yet up and running. This is strictly nonprofit of course and there are no interests in philanthropy. It is just something that is needed for handling money (book royalties, donations, prize money etc) in a completely transparent way. For instance, taxes have to be paid before we can give them away to specified purposes and charities. This takes a lot of time and work, and when the foundation is fully up and running I will tell you more. The foundation’s aim will be to promote ecological, climatic and social sustainability as well as mental health. Love/ Greta</a></p>

Greta Thunberg files application to patent her name and campaign 'Fridays For Future'

<p>Tens of thousands of protesters, primarily in Europe and Asia, hit the streets on Friday to make a fresh call for action against global warming, hoping to raise pressure on world leaders days before a <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/students-stage-global-strikes-to-pressure-un-climate-summit-265283">UN climate summit</a>.</p>

<p>Carrying signs that read "One planet, one fight" and "The sea is rising, so must we", thousands flocked to Berlin's Brandenburg Gate for the latest "Fridays for Future" protest inspired by 16-year-old activist Greta Thunberg.</p>

<p>In total, about 630,000 people demonstrated across more than 500 cities in Germany, the Fridays for Future movement said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In Hamburg alone, some 30,000 mainly young people gathered and another 17,000 congregated in Munich to voice alarm at rising temperatures, police said.</p>

<p>Thunberg, meanwhile, was on a boat sailing across the Atlantic, but tweeted a photo of herself holding a sign that said "School strike for climate."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rallies took place across Europe, although on a smaller scale than during September's wave of "climate strikes" when organisers said some four million people filled city streets around the world.</p>

<p>Approximately 1,700 turned out in Madrid, the host city of next week's 12-day COP25 conference, which aims to encourage governments to increase their commitments to cut emissions and combat climate change.</p>

<p>In France, climate activists focused their anger on the "Black Friday" sales bonanza with protesters blocking a distribution centre of online retail giant Amazon outside Paris and others near Lyon and Lille.</p>

<p>Protesters in Paris also formed a human chain at La Defense shopping mall that prevented people from reaching stores, to highlight the climate costs of consumerism.</p>

<p>The Dutch branch of "Fridays for Future" said demos were taking place in around 15 cities, culminating in an evening march in Amsterdam where protesters would observe a moment's silence for victims of the climate crisis.</p>

<p>Several hundred young people also took to the streets of Lisbon, where Thunberg is expected to arrive shortly before making her way to Madrid.</p>

<p>Turnout was low in the United States and Canada, with the protest taking place during the American Thanksgiving holiday weekend. A demonstration in Washington drew about 50 people, another in New York had 100.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's important to keep showing up, keep being out there and talking to people about how this is not a problem that can go away, unless we address it head-on," said 24-year-old Frank Fritz in Washington.</p>

<p>New York police arrested 23 anti-consumerism protesters who staged a sit-in outside Macy's department store.</p>

<p>In Montreal, environmental groups distributed second-hand clothing.</p>

<p>"We are trying to create an eco-responsible movement against mass consumption, so we are giving away clothes for free to encourage people to consume less," protester Germain Desloges told AFP.</p>

<p><strong>Toxic smoke</strong></p>

<p>The latest round of global climate demonstrations kicked off in bushfire-ravaged Australia, where hundreds rallied outside the Sydney offices of the Liberal party.</p>

<p>The target of their ire was Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who said earlier this month the suggestion that "individual actions of Australia" had an impact on the fires "doesn't bear up to credible scientific evidence".</p>

<p>"Our government's inaction on the climate crisis has supercharged bushfires," said school strike leader Shiann Broderick, as <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/climate-protests-kick-off-in-smoke-covered-sydney-265149">Sydney</a> was once again enveloped in toxic smoke from the fires.</p>

<p>Australia, with a population of almost 25 million, has low carbon emissions compared with the planet's biggest polluters but is one of the world's leading coal exporters.</p>

<p>Protests also took place in Tokyo, where hundreds marched through the teeming Shinjuku district.</p>

<p>"I feel a sense of crisis because almost no one in Japan is interested," said 19-year-old student Mio Ishida.</p>

<p>"I was really inspired by Greta's actions."</p>

<p><strong>Missed targets&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>In Delhi, about 50 school and college students marched to the environment ministry in the world's most polluted capital, carrying placards and chanting slogans demanding that the government declare a climate emergency.</p>

<p>"This is about doing something that you believe in," said 23-year-old Saumya Chowdhury. "We want the government to acknowledge this and have a conversation on this issue with people."</p>

<p>India is one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gases and has 14 of the 15 most polluted cities in the world, according to a UN study.</p>

<p>Some 200 nations are meeting in the Spanish capital from Monday for talks on finalising the "rulebook" for the 2015 Paris climate treaty, which becomes operational in 2021.</p>

<p>Scientists have warned that efforts to cap warming to 1.5 Celsius are failing and that carbon emissions -- which are on the rise -- would need to fall 7.6 percent a year to meet the target.</p>

<p>The United Nations has reported that greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, the main driver of climate change, hit a record high last year.</p>

<p>The UN has also warned that global temperatures are on track to rise almost 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, which could make some places virtually uninhabitable.</p>
