“Thousands of climate justice advocates took to the streets of London on Saturday to demand the U.K. government ‘end its reliance on fossil fuels, commit to paying climate reparations, and end its complicity in the genocide in Gaza’. Organizers said more than 60 groups — including Extinction Rebellion, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, Amnesty International U.K., Palestine Solidarity Campaign, War on Want, and Just Stop Oil — took part in the March for Global Climate Justice. The demonstration took place amid yet another shambolic United Nations Climate Change Conference and as Israeli forces continue a war on Gaza that U.N. experts this week called ‘consistent with the characteristics of genocide.’ More than two dozen associated protests were held in cities and towns across Britain and Ireland, including Dublin, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Sheffield.” (11/16/24)
