This Monday, students from ten schools launched protests demanding an end to the use of fossil fuels by 2023 and a transition to 100% renewable and affordable electricity by 2025. The information was provided in a statement sent to the editors of the activist group Greve Climática.
“We live in a climate crisis caused by the fossil system and by the consent of the institutions that are supposed to represent us. This system has failed our generation,” said Beatrice Xavier, a representative of the collective.
This Monday, actions are planned at the Faculties of Psychology, Fine Arts, Sciences and Letters of Lisbon, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, ISCTE, the Higher School of Theater and Film, the University of Coimbra and the high schools of Camões and Philippe de Lencastre.
“Schools are our space of struggle, where students can organize to bring about change in society. Let’s create destabilization so that we have the opportunity to learn for the future that was stolen from us,” he emphasizes.
In a released statement, the environmental group said students will occupy the Ministry of Environment building on November 24.
