Fridays for Future wrap up European meeting with Turin march

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 29 - The Fridays For Future (FFF) movement wrapped up its second European meeting in Turin on Friday with a march demanding action to avert environmental breakdown and stressing the need for climate justice.
    The northern Italian city has been the capital of the climate movement all week.
    In addition to the FFF European Meeting at Turin University's Luigi Einaudi Campus, it has also hosted the Climate Social Camp, featuring other groups and activists from all over the world, at the city's Parco della Colletta.
    "Today was an opportunity to give visibility to people from exploited countries (in the Global South), who are already suffering the worst effects of the climate crisis," said Giorgio Brizio, one of the activists.
    "We have many different spirits, many different colours and many slogans in different languages.
    "One of the chants that united everyone was against colonialism.
    "That is a sign that colonialism is still present in too many parts of the world".
    Greta Thunberg, whose school strike for climate outside the Swedish parliament, helped give birth to the FFF movement, address the meeting via video link on Monday. (ANSA).
