Our planet - Their future!

Children have rallied outside the Irish parliament Dail Eireann this week calling for action on climate change. Green Ireland ie reports:

“Hundreds of young protesters rallied in front of the Dáil yesterday to call on the Irish Government to immediately address the growing threat of climate change.

The Children’s Rally for Climate Action organised by Climate Case Ireland (CCI) comes just days before a high profile climate case against the Irish Government in the High Court.

The hearing for the case brought by Friends of the Irish Environment (FiE) is expected to last at least four days as the group challenges the State’s National Mitigation Plan.
FiE argues that the Plan is not strong enough to effectively tackle Ireland’s emissionsand also violates the 2015 Climate Act and the State’s human rights obligations.
At the rally, protesters of all ages chanted and held banners with slogans such as, ‘Fix This Climate Mess’, ‘Dinosaurs Thought They Had Time Too’, and ‘There is No Planet B.’

Former Irish President and climate justice activist Mary Robinson also made an appearance at the event, openly chatting with members of the crowd.”
