Students occupy universities demanding climate action

University students across Czechia are taking part in protests against climate change, calling on the government to take immediate action to address global warming, soaring energy prices and growing social inequalities, reports Radio Prague International.

The series of events, including sleep-in and sit-in protests as well as demonstrations, started on Monday 14 November and were due to culminate on Thursday with a march through Prague.

“We have decided for the sit-in protest because we firmly believe that the government is not doing enough to prevent a climate crisis that is becoming our daily reality … The reason why it is happening now is that we are taking part in the international process that sparked the movement, which is occupying universities and protesting against climate injustice all over the world,” said protest organiser Anežka Lindaurová.
