Truant for climate

Inspired by the climate protests of young activist Greta Thunberg (Sweden), 3,000 young Belgian school pupils also skipped school today.

They gathered in Brussels with one clear message: “There is no planet B”. Their plan is to repeat this every Thursday until an appropriate response comes from Belgian politics.

We endorse this kind of subversive yet constructive actions and admire these young inspired activists.

Just Like Greta Thunberg, Gaston was present at the climate conference of Katowice. You can read his view (in Dutch) on the faltering of international climate change negotiations on the news site APACHE.
