France-WideClimat, Justice, Libertés’ Marches Set for Sunday

Organisers present a unified push that links climate goals to social justice.

Overview

  • Marches are scheduled nationwide on 28 September, with reported listings varying widely from about 64 to roughly 300 events.
  • About a dozen environmental organisations, including Greenpeace and Les Amis de la Terre, lead the call with backing from more than 200 groups.
  • The CGT is joining this climate mobilisation, which organisers describe as the union’s first participation of this kind.
  • Key demands include repealing the Duplomb law, launching a national plan for chlordécone, ending subsidies to large corporations, adopting the Zucman tax, and imposing an arms embargo to Israel.
  • The mobilisations align with the international #DrawTheLine actions and precede further protests planned around the October budget debate, COP30 in Brazil in November, and December dates tied to the Paris Agreement.
