The report was blocked hours after thousands of climate protesters marched in Katowice on Saturday to call out Poland’s promotion of coal mining and to demand urgent action on climate change. Major climate protests took place in a number of other cities, including Montreal, where protesters spoke out against the Trans Mountain expansion pipeline, and in Paris, where an estimated 25,000 people marched, at times overlapping with the “yellow vest” demonstrations.
Tristan: “Climate nowadays is really fundamental, and in particular in a context of social debate. Both causes converge, because decision makers and leaders are elected to take decisions in both areas. And today the context urges us to fight, because there is a climate emergency and also an increasing social emergency.”
We’ll bring you voices from the protest here in Katowice later in the broadcast.
