On the day school started in Tyrol, the last generation took part in a climate protest in the Innsbruck area. The B171, Tiroler Straße, was blocked on Monday morning near Rum, both in the direction of the capital and in the direction of Hall. Disabled people and traffic jams were the result. There were also protests in Graz and Linz.
In Graz, activists blocked Petersgasse, and in Linz, highway exits at Prinz-Eugen-Straße were blocked. “If the cities of Innsbruck, Graz and Linz do not remind the federal government to stick to its own climate targets, they will be jointly responsible for the devastating summer of disasters that has still not come to an end,” says Last Generation.
“Children’s rights violated”
At the start of school in the West today, the activists “also draw attention to the violation of children’s rights”: “Especially for our children, we must strive to quickly implement the 93 socially just recommendations of the Citizens’ Climate Council .” the protesters said.
Known requirements
“The government has owed its citizens an effective climate protection law for more than 983 days. Despite flooding in Carinthia and more than 35 days of heat this summer from climate disasters, the government still refuses to implement the recommendations of the Austrian Climate Council.”
Spokeswoman Marina Hagen-Canaval also explained: “In a world where we drift from crisis to crisis, our children cannot develop freely. Children’s rights are worthless in a world without sufficient drinking water and food. The government must finally act and protect the rights of our children!”
