For the climate

Why We Strike

The climate crisis is not waiting. It is not a threat of the future. It is already here.

In June 2026 alone, heatwaves are estimated to have caused at least 12,000 excess deaths across Europe¹. At the same time, Western Europe experienced its hottest June on record².

During the summer, unprecedented wildfires forced more than 300,000 people to flee their homes in France and Spain. According to researchers, climate change made the weather conditions driving these fires many times more likely³.

Greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced immediately, and climate action must be fair and just. Every delayed decision increases human suffering and the costs we will face in the future.

More than ever, we must demand immediate climate action.
