The Global Day of Action on Climate has occurred every year since 2005 at the time of the annual United Nations Talks on climate change. Movements and organisations from all around the world came together on the same day to demand action on climate justice from the governments of the world. This year’s talks are being held in Poznan, Poland. To view pictures from gatherings on Climate Action Day you may visit the website http://www.globalclimatecampaign.org in the coming week for updates of the events worldwide.
Immanuel Mifsud read poems from his and Adrian Grima’s recently launched Rih min-Nofsinhar, a collection of poems on climate change. Vince Fabri played songs on climate change and encouraged the audience to sing along to the lyrics of one of Immanuel Mifsud’s poems from Rih min-Nofsinhar.
Throughout the evening video clips were shown on climate change produced by FoE groups around Europe.
The cast of High School Musical Malta joined us to perform songs from the musical they will be staging at MCC this Christmas season.
A holistic initiative is needed to tackle climate change. If Malta continues to sleep on this we will be masking the consequences until it is too late to do something about it. Friends of the Earth Malta asks the government to Act Now on climate change.
