The September 20 Boston Climate Strike is part of a week of global climate events which coincide with the September 23, 2019 UN Climate Action Summit at the UN Headquarters in New York City.<\/p>\n

According to the website<\/a> of the UN\u00a0 Climate Action Summit: “Global emissions are reaching record levels and show no sign of peaking. The last four years were the four hottest on record, and winter temperatures in the Arctic have risen by 3\u00b0C since 1990. Sea levels are rising, coral reefs are dying, and we are starting to see the life-threatening impact of climate change on health, through air pollution, heatwaves and risks to food security. . . .\u00a0 But there is a growing recognition that affordable, scalable solutions are available now that will enable us all to leapfrog to cleaner, more resilient economies.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Let us join with youth all over the world to demand that solutions be implemented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
