March 12, 2024 07:09 am | Updated 07:09 am IST - STOCKHOLMA group of climate activists including Greta Thunberg on March 11 blocked the entrance to the Swedish parliament, advocating for sweeping reforms to tackle climate disasters. Some 40 activists held signs reading ”Climate Justice Now” as they sat in front of at least two entrances to the 349-seat Riksdagen, including the main doorway. “The climate justice movement has, for decades, been repeating the same message over and over again, like a broken record, and we feel like we are not being heard,” Ms. Thunberg told AP. Climate protesters have accused fossil fuel companies of deliberately slowing the global energy transition to renewables in order to make more profit. Ms. Thunberg, 21, has inspired a global youth movement demanding stronger efforts to fight climate change after staging weekly protests outside the Swedish parliament starting in 2018.
