Members of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition gathered today at Speakers Corner in Brisbane to call on the Queensland Government for justice-centred solutions to the climate and COVID crises.
Community Organiser Monique Jeffs says “The climate crisis is...affects everyone but not equally. It is often the most marginalised in our societies who are hit first and worst by climate impacts.”
She called for both major parties to listen to First Nation leaders and to transition out of the fossil fuel industry into renewable energy.
