United around climate justice!

12th of December could be called as D-day for climate history, because the biggest action on climate change ever happened. Friends of the Earth organized 5000 people Flood for Climate Justice. The weather followed the mood of people participating, shinny sun rays were dropping on the flood of people wearing blue raincoats simulating FLOOD that could reach dramatic levels, because of melting glaciers or ice on the poles.

After it very long Global Day of Action march consisted of almost 100000 people which has been finished after 7 hours. Amazing atmosphere culminated on the square in front of Parliament, where people gathered and continued together in the direction of Bella Center, where UN conference was happening. SCI crew, joined YOUNGO block, and beside them more groups were involved: Greenpeace, Friend of the Earth, WWF, 350. Joined power of word echoed through the streets which citizens were protected by police guards, who were standing around and smiling at as, but some did not have that much luck and have been arrested because of disobedience. Walking in the march, expressing the request for climate justice, led us to one direction- to show to the decision makers that we care; and the small babes carried by their parents were only reminding us why we are doing all this. That moment bring you to the future point when young people, that are growing up now, are going to be influenced by the decisions and actions of us, today. The demand for climate justice is requested by – citizens of the Earth: the young activist from India called for unite action and to overcome global North and global South differences; worker from UK - ordinary men fighting for his job in factory of wind turbines, he lost his job, and they occupied the factory; the children doctor who is dealing with child cancers caused by radiation coming from nuclear power plants, which are offered solutions for declining GHG emissions in some countries, as China. The representatives of World shout message. Peacefully walking, and showing the banner „There is no planet B“.

But, did decision makers hear that mass of people is screaming for change? Or was it only entertainment for the rest of the world sitting home after weekend shopping, watching TV broadcast recorded from helicopters flying above the protest, and then says: “Let’s see what is on the other channel......” While walking and passing by street lights where photographers were climbing on, with notice of united people asking for climate justice, one asks him or herself is the moment now? For big change? This same people can make a change, to create their own life and future, in harmony with all leaving beings existing on our still blue planet Earth.
