What is newsworthy? We constantly see the media and politicians trying to minimize the climate crisis. Meanwhile, millions of people around the world are already suffering from its consequences. A report published this week by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre is a plea to world leaders to act in the face of an imminent and unprecedented humanitarian crisis. The study shows that since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, climate-related disasters have affected over 139 million people worldwide. 658 million have been exposed to extreme temperatures. The numbers are terrifying. Our leaders’ ignorance and inability to act is purely rooted in privilege. It’s time for them to wake up. This is why, in three weeks, we will be back on the streets of Brussels to strike and to demand climate justice for all. Will you be there? 👇🏼 📆 10/10/2021 ⏰ 13:00 📌 Brussels, Belgium @youthforclimate #BackToTheClimate #COP26 @IFRC @croixrougebe 📸 @kellybalch

Spread the word 🔈 In case you haven’t done that yet. Tell your friends, family, colleagues, class mates or even strangers, to come to the climate strike on 10/10/2021 at Brussels north station – 13u. We need all of you. 🔥 📸 @film_by_them
Everyone has a first. I remember the first strike I ever went to. I felt very excited but also scared and hesitant. I didn’t really know what to expect. What would being in such a large crowd of people feel like? When I arrived I was overwhelmed by the amazing energy in the air. All around me, people were sharing chants and holding banners and flags together. I went with two friends and left with many more. I ended up having the most amazing time, dancing through the streets to loud music and feeling lifted up by a crowd of people fighting for the same dream. Above all, I left with hope for a better world. In a world where so many feel hopeless, alone and scared for the future, let’s not forget these moments of unity. When we are together, we are beyond powerful. I hope that you join us this Sunday and can feel this too. Will you be there? 👇🏼 📆 10/10/2021 ⏰ 13:00 📌 Brussels North, Belgium @youthforclimate #BackToTheClimate
Join us today at 13 at Brussels North! ⚡️ Today, side by side with all Belgian climate movements, we will take on the streets of Brussels. For the first time since the COVID pandemic hit, we can mobilize. We need you to help us in sending a strong message to our leaders. United, we can show our leaders that their worthless promises simply aren’t enough. We need real, conscious climate leadership – and we need it now. There is no time to waste. It’s time to get #BackToTheClimate 🌏 @youth.for.climate @fridaysforfuture #ClimateCrisis #COP26
We’re so ready to get back out there. Tell friends and family to free their calendars on 10/10/2021! We need to unite on the streets and retake the immense power we had before the Covid crisis hit. They couldn’t ignore us then. And they won’t ignore us now. #climatestrike Picture by @laura_krsmanovic
Yesterday, I spoke at a high-level panel at the @councilofeurope, joining UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres, among others. Standing there, appealing for my right for a future, was not how I dreamt of spending my youth. Our leaders’ actions have, however, have left me without a choice. Denied of my freedom to live without fear. I never had a choice to be anything but brave. We discussed a set of resolutions which recommend to draw up a new protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights on the right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment. This would give power back to the people by providing them a way to hold their governments accountable for their lack of climate action. However, an Assembly vote in favor is only the beginning. The final decision will be taken by the ministerial body of the Council, which already refused to take action on a similar call in 2009. This is why my question to the Committee of Ministers is: Are you half as brave as I am? It’s time for you too, to show courage- just like we activists have to, every single day. We are already late. Climate justice can’t wait any longer. It’s time to make #EnvironmentRightNow 🌿 @youth.for.climate #cop26 @fridaysforfuture
WTF even happens at a climate strike? What if I don’t know anymore there? Do we seriously still need to strike? Come and ask @toritsui_ and me anything about this week’s strike in Brussels, about being a climate activist, or anything and everything you ever wanted to know about changing the system 🔥 We’ll go live here on Saturday at 17u CET ⏱ Tag a friend who needs this in their life!👇🏼 #BackToTheClimate #AskMeAnything
The kids are coming 🔥 The clock on the climate is ticking. We are still light years away from reaching the global climate targets. We urgently need more ambition and action from our leaders. The team behind @youth.for.climate got together this weekend to discuss movement building, the #BackToTheClimate strike and our strategy for the upcoming #COP26 conference. It felt incredible to be all together again, to reconnect and to redesign the blueprint of the revolution. Our movement is strong, resilient and united. No matter how hard some may try, we will not be silenced. We will not give up on this fight, and we are not afraid to confront our leaders who are refusing to act. That is why we will crowd the streets of Brussels again in two weeks, and expect to see you there with us. The countdown is on! 👇🏼 📍 Brussels-North station 📆 10/10/2021 ⏱️ 13:00 Spread the word!
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released a report today. Scientists are crystal clear: global temperatures is still rising and it is due to human activity. This will lead to stronger, more frequent floods, heat waves, intense raining, fires,… literally existential threats to humanity. All of this is not new, what is new is that it’s going way faster then we thought. We have all been witnesses of the direct consequences of climate change this summer, and it’ll only get worse. We need to unite on the streets again. 10/10, we’ll see you there!
“Hoeveel betogers moeten er op tien oktober door de straten van Brussel lopen? Doet dat er eigenlijk wel toe? Of daar nu één iemand staat, of er lopen een miljoen Belgen mee: het gaat erom wat onze politici straks doen om de klimaatcrisis te vermijden.”
TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO PULL UP! For the first time since the covid pandemic started,we will take on the streets again tomorrow in Brussels ✊🏼🌍 During these months, we have worked behind the scenes and repeatedly told our leaders to show courage by demonstrating real climate leadership. Unsurprisingly, the climate targets and commitments presented by our leaders are not even close to being ambitious enough. And they know it very well. Now with the restrictions lifted, we need all of you to join us in sending a strong message to our leaders. It’s time that they feel our disappointment. It’s time to get loud. It’s time to take on the streets again. It’s time to get #BackToTheClimate 🌏 See you tomorrow! 👇🏼 📆 10/10/2021 ⏰ 13:00 📌 Brussels North, Belgium @youthforclimate @fridaysforfuture
Join us on 10/10 in Brussels. Time for applause is over. It’s time to join the March!
Good things are coming. See you on 10/10 in Brussels. Back on the streets!
Today @youth.for.climate joined a call with indigenous leaders and representatives of the alliance of Mother Nature guardians and executive vice-president of the European Commission, @frans__timmermans ,to discuss the climate and biodiversity crisis and indigenous rights in relation to EU policy. The people most affected by the climate crisis are least responsible. But also, they are the solution. The EU needs to stop, listen and learn from indigenous people around the world and their way of treating this earth. If you use one of the 4 elements, water, earth, wind or fire, you are a guardian of the planet and you have a responsibility to protect it. Im proud to be a part of this alliance.
Yesterday 108 people lost their lives and over 160 people got injured in the ISIS-K bomb-attacks in Kaboel. After days of terror in Afghanistan these attacks are heartbreaking and it’s crucial to protect and evacuate Afghans who are fearing for their lives every single day. “Failing them would be an unforgivable betrayal.” Amnesty international My heart and thoughts go out to those who lost their lives in the attacks and those who are suffering from losing loved ones, injuries and the horrific situation in Afghanistan Picture : DW
This Sunday, August 1, our movie ‘in all kind of weathers’ is playing in @blikfabriek Later also screenings coming up in Croatia, Brazil and Rotterdam. Thank you @collectif_fairepart & @constanzewouters
Deze zomer heeft aangetoond dat we de klimaatcrisis absoluut niet onder controle hebben en er moet enorm veel politieke druk gezet worden om actie te eisen. We hebben je nodig op 10/10 in Brussel noord om 13u. Hopelijk tot dan!
Went live with @toritsui_ to talk to all of you about the climate strike tomorrow and the need for action! See you tomorrow! 🔥
🚨 Spoiler alert: Onze politici hebben de klimaatcrisis niet onder controle! Veel van het huidige beleid is pure green washing en het is énorm belangrijk dat we met grote aantallen op straat komen om enorme druk te zetten op onze politici en hun eraan te herinneren dat ze een enorme verantwoordelijkheid dragen en wij geen compromis gaan sluiten. We hebben je nodig. De tijd om te applaudisseren is voorbij. Iedereen draagt een verantwoordelijkheid en het is niet meer genoeg om het ‘ermee eens te zijn’. Het is tijd voor actie. 10/10/2021 in Brussel noord station om 13u! Tot dan ✊🏼 @deidealewereld @jan_jaap_van_der_wal
