Overview
- Demonstrations are taking place on Sunday in dozens of cities, with reported counts ranging from roughly 64–69 locations to about 300 gatherings depending on the source.
- A dozen environmental groups launched the call, including Greenpeace, Les Amis de la Terre, Alternatiba, ANV‑COP21, Attac and 350, and say more than 200 associations and unions have signed on.
- The CGT is taking part in this climate mobilisation for the first time, underscoring the organisers’ effort to link environmental and social demands.
- Core demands include repeal of the law Duplomb, a national plan for chlordécone victims, ending subsidies to large companies, adopting a Zucman tax, opposing austerity measures and imposing an arms‑sales embargo to Israel.
- The marches are billed as France’s contribution to the international #DrawTheLine actions ahead of COP30, with organisers signalling further coordinated protests around the autumn budget debate and November’s summit in Belém.
