Climate justice advocates enthusiastically report that the recent Global Climate Strike involved 7.6 million people in 6,500 events that took place in 185 countries, supported by 8,500 websites, 3,000 companies, and 73 trade unions. Behind the headlines is this fact: with the exception of Morocco, no country in the world is complying with its Paris Climate Accord commitment, and the U.S. has dropped out of the international agreement.
Climate activists who practise peaceful civil disobedience are planning their second significant action in Vancouver in less than two weeks.
On October 7, the Vancouver chapter of Extinction Rebellion took over the Burrard Bridge for 13 hours before police ordered demonstrators to disperse.
In the end, 10 people were arrested for refusing to leave.
