IBEI acknowledges the exceptional movement of people around the world calling for action on the climate crisis
Given the overwhelming consensus among experts of the severity of the situation, we believe that the response of international organizations is inadequate.
As an institution devoted to international studies, we endorse international solutions to global problems, the scientific underpinning of decision-making, and the role of diplomacy and regulation in changing society. We add our voice to the public demand for action.
From September 20th to 27th, in over 150 countries, millions of people will join young climate strikers in a Global #ClimateStrike on the streets and demand an end to the age of fossil fuels. You can check the Global Climate Strikes around the globe at https://globalclimatestrike.net or at www.fridaysforfuture.org
Join the movement in Barcelona and get more information at www.emergenciaclimatica.net and Fridays For Future Barcelona Twitter and Facebook accounts.
