Students against climate change

Students will occupy schools and universities today to show that "the climate crisis is not acceptable for the future of any person in society". Demonstrations will begin in Lisbon (Instituto Superior Técnico, Faculty of Arts and Psychology at the University of Lisbon and Don Luís de Gusmão High School), Porto (Soares dos Reis School of Art) and Faro (University of Faro and Tomás Cabreira High School). Activist Teresa Núncio, a spokeswoman for the occupations to end fossil fuels in Portugal, justified the protest for Lusa, saying the climate crisis remains "and continues to worsen" and is "neither normal nor acceptable for the future of students or anyone in society". Demonstrators are calling for an end to fossil fuel use by 2030 and "100 % of renewable and affordable electricity for all families by 2025". (TPN/Lusa)
