Over 260 climate demonstrations were organized Saturday across France, taking the form of marches, rallies and citizen-led actions, to call for urgent measures to address climate change.
These mobilizations, spread throughout French territory, demonstrate the ongoing strength of citizen engagement on climate issues, several years after the first major climate marches.
To discuss these demonstrations, France 24 interviewed Margot Jaymond, advocacy officer for Amnesty International France, who reflected on the motivations of participants and the demands made at these events.
Organizers of such demonstrations typically call on public authorities to strengthen policies to combat climate change and accelerate the ecological transition.
The participation of organizations like Amnesty International in these mobilizations also illustrates the connections that some activists draw between the defense of human rights and the fight against climate change.
No overall attendance figures for these more than 260 events were immediately released.
