The U.N. Climate Conference is ending today. Over 200 countries came together in Katowice in Poland to speak about Climate Change since December 3rd.
At Around 1pm today (local time) Polish teenagers have staged an action at the venue of U.N. climate conference urging the negotiators on the last scheduled day of talks to reach an agreement on ways of fighting global warming.
More than 30 school students from Katowice, the Polish city where the talks are being held, responded Friday to a call by 15-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg for a “climate strike” to pressure politicians into greater ambition in fighting climate change.
They sang Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song” and “They Don’t Care About Us” as they stood near where negotiators from almost 200 countries were trying to reach agreement on the fine print of the 2015 Paris climate accord.
One of them, 15-year-old Gosia Czachowska, said she responded to Thunberg’s call because “I care about the Earth … and because I want to have a good future.”
It is amazing to see that Michael Jackson’s songs and message is so relevant to the new generations today to voice their opinion and fear towards their future and the future of our planet! #PROUDMJFAN
