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.
