We speak to a teacher who has joined Extinction Rebellion, Tim Jones about the Global Climate Strikes, what Extinction Rebellion’s demands are in fighting climate change, how democracy is central to the movement and the role of children and young people in the climate strikes.
STATEMENT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS, ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY:
“We share the passion young people and others have for tackling climate change. We are recognised at home and abroad for our world-leading action, as the first major economy to legislate for net zero emissions and as nominated hosts for next year’s crucial climate talks that will help us shape the climate agenda. And just today we have helped to secure enough clean energy to power seven million homes.
“For the first time, young people are also shaping our future climate policy through the Government’s Youth Steering Group. We encourage constructive engagement on the issue of climate change which doesn’t come at the expense of our children’s education or excessive disruption.”
