September 23 marks the Global Climate Strike.
CUPW endorses the strike organizers’ demand that policymakers and world leaders prioritize #PeopleNotProfit!
Governments must listen to MAPA (Most Affected Peoples and Areas) voices and immediately work to provide meaningful financial support to the communities most affected by the climate crisis, from flooded villages in Pakistan to drought-stricken communities in East Africa.
The Global Strike, that began with 15-year-old Greta Thunberg striking every Friday in the streets of Sweden has exploded across more than 185 Countries. Originally a youth/student movement, climate strikes are a powerful demand for more action to cut emissions and stabilise the climate.
