“Ignite the Nation” Joins the #PayUp Movement: Advocating for the Protection of Rivers and Water Rights
Barguna, 20th September—”Ignite the Nation,” a global climate justice movement, has proudly aligned with the #PayUp campaign, calling for urgent action to protect our rivers and water resources. As environmental degradation and climate change threaten these vital lifelines, the movement emphasizes the need for accountability and justice to ensure these natural resources are preserved for future generations.
From September 13 to 20, millions of climate advocates around the world have mobilized both in the streets and online to demand immediate action. With the rising demand for climate reparations and a phase-out of fossil fuels, “Ignite the Nation” is raising its voice for climate justice under the banners of #PayUp, #PhaseOut, #BeTheFuture, and #IgniteTheNation.
The movement also draws attention to the critical need to safeguard coastal areas and river ecosystems, aligning with local and global volunteers who work tirelessly to protect these fragile environments. Through hashtags like #beingacoastguardian and #volunteerslife, the campaign highlights the role of local guardians in protecting their communities and ecosystems from the damaging impacts of climate change.
Our Demands:
- Phase-out of fossil fuels: We call for an immediate global transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy to combat climate change and reduce environmental harm.
- Payment of climate reparations: We demand that nations most responsible for climate change pay reparations to vulnerable communities facing the harshest consequences of environmental damage.
Join us in the fight for a sustainable future! Together, we can ensure the protection of our rivers and water rights for generations to come.
