Ahead of the start of the G7 summit in Taormina, six Greenpeace activists unfurl a 110 square metre banner with the message ‘Climate Justice Now’. Greenpeace is calling on the G7 leaders to rapidly implement the Paris Climate Agreement, a generation-defining pact signed by nearly 200 countries, and to resolutely move forward despite the threats of US President Trump to abandon the agreement.
Climate and weather-related disasters and security risks will progressively worsen if we keep burning coal, oil and gas. Our future and the lives of billions of people across the world are at stake right now. Our answer to Trump’s ‘America first’ has to be ‘Planet Earth First.’
