MARCH TO END FOSSIL FUELS: UN CLIMATE AMBITION SUMMIT

How do we end the climate crisis? Join author, activist, blogger, Ted Glick and activist Zakiya Alake on Eco-Logic as we bring you the where, when and why of the March to end Fossil Fuels and the U.N. Climate Ambition Summit week of events.

Eco-Logic covers some difficult environmental issues but this one is a joy. It's all about solutions.

Secretary-General António Guterres of the United Nations called for a “Climate Ambition Summit”, with the price of admission being new plans for policy action to rapidly get off fossil fuels. There are 500 different groups in 120 Hubs, working together, going beyond talk, even going beyond marching.

This march is not just for complaining about climate chaos, but for affecting policy. There is an aura of excitement and optimism, reflecting the staying power of the climate movement. The many Hubs include a variety of affinities: environmental justice and indigenous groups leading the march, women’s groups, civil-rights groups, youth groups, elders, nuke-free/carbon-free, and many more. In the week before the march, there will be actions at banks & insurance companies in NYC and many places around the globe.

Learn how the Women's and LGBTQIA movements positively influenced the climate movement. We'll talk about the important role of EJ groups in affecting climate policies.

This is not your parents' United Nations—nor is this your parents’ environmental movement.
