Press Conference: Wave of actions across the globe demand an end to fossil finance
Global -- On October 29th, just two days before the start of the UN Climate Summit in Glasgow, groups in every region of the globe will start a wave of mobilizations that will last until November 6th. Over 50 coordinated actions are planned across the globe.
From Manila to NYC, São Paulo to Nairobi, London to the Pacific and across Europe, thousands of people will take to the streets in marches, hold banners, organize projections, street murals, vigils and other kinds of creative demonstrations to demand that financial institutions end all funding for fossil fuels and instead direct resources to support the most vulnerable nations tackling the climate crisis, and deliver a rapid, just transition to a fossil free world.
To present an overview of these actions 350.org and allies will host an online press conference on the 28th of October. The panel will include renowned climate campaigners and organizers from around the world who will be sharing details of the actions, presenting their demands to the financial targets, and responding to questions.
