Rise for Climate Philippines - Campaigning under the heat of midday sun

QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES — Protesters gather in Quezon City Memorial Circle for a cross-sector march campaigning for the Philippines’ transition from coal to renewable energy, among other issues. In the Philippines where climate justice tends to be a lesser priority, activists and volunteers remind: climate change affects everybody. “It affects everything that breathes,” says one volunteer from 350 Philippines.

On September 8, 2018, tens of thousands of people joined over 830 actions in 91 countries under the banner of Rise for Climate to demonstrate the urgency of the climate crisis. Communities around the world shined a spotlight on the increasing impacts they are experiencing and demanded local action to keep fossil fuels in the ground. There were hundreds of creative events and actions that challenged fossil fuels and called for a swift and just transition to 100% renewable energy for all. Event organizers emphasized community-led solutions, starting in places most impacted by pollution and climate change.
