The participants came from different latitudes, at the foot of the street it was evident the great cultural diversity, of races and ages.

In order to raise awareness of the global emergency in which we live, faced with the inaction of governments, various organizations, platforms and social movements, trade unions and environmental groups, came together in a common feeling, idea and action. The slogan of the demonstrators was the climate emergency, they want to pressure world leaders and tell them that it is time to act.

Faced with the pollution and destruction of the planet’s ecosystems, in a proportion never seen before, a new paradigm is needed.
