Students hold worldwide protests to demand real environmental changes from the UN
The last great compromise signed was the Paris Agreement. A text that promised to be the change that the world needed, by promoting the reduction of emissions and lowering the levels of pollution. However, this agreement was only written on paper and very few have begun to commit against climate change.
We must make people understand that there is a climate emergency today, that the problem of warming is today, that public health is threatened today, that the sea is rising today, that temperatures are already causing very serious problems. Secretary of the UN.
In the next few days the UN summit will begin. The date is set for world leaders to begin to account for the pollution they are causing, in addition to being more demanding when it comes to enforcing the Paris Agreement.
The great advance that existed in the last decade had been in the reduction of greenhouse gases. The goal was to lower the levels by 45% so that there is no major environmental damage, but contrary to this progress, they increased the levels by 10%.
Before the meeting is a fact, thousands of students worldwide protested to start receiving positive news with actions and not agreements that remain on paper and without any basis.
Political opinion is divided over the protests by students and in some parts like New York, 1.1 million students were granted permission to go out and protest.
In Germany, one of the most polluting countries in the world, at least 5000 marches will be held especially on September 27. However, the German government will promote a large environmental project, which still lacks political support.
