It’s been a big week for climate activism, as Brisbane’s School Strike for Climate forged ahead today despite predicted storms.
The Strike demands no new coal, gas and oil investments, net zero emissions by 2030, 100 per cent renewable exports by 2030, and funding for workers in the transition away from the fossil-fuel industries.
It’s the second major climate action for Brisbane this week, after Extinction Rebellion protesters scaled parliament house on Wednesday.
The actions come just over a fortnight away from the UN’s COP-26 climate conference in Glasgow, for which Prime Minister Scott Morrison is yet to confirm his attendance.
