Montreal demonstrators call for ecological transition built on workers’ needs

Montreal demonstrators call for ecological transition built on workers’ needs

Global News
Saturday, November 6, 2021 9:59 PM GMT

A coalition of unions, public sector workers and students are calling on governments to take climate action more seriously. Demonstrators formed a human chain link on Parc Ave.

A few hundred people mobilized Saturday at noon at the foot of Mount Royal to demand immediate action for an ecological transition built around the needs of workers.

With green scarves around their necks and green ribbons in their hands, participants formed a human chain on Park Ave. in Montreal. They then took to the streets to denounce the slowness of governments to reach the target of the Paris Agreement.

Organizers say they chose Mount Royal “to highlight the importance of protecting the environment.”

“Scientists keep warning us, we must listen to them,” organizers said in a statement. “If we don’t take significant action to address the situation and meet the target, we are all headed for disaster.”

A coalition of unions took the opportunity to voice their opinions. They say they want to see a more sustainable climate-friendly economy, but also want a seat at the table.

“Climate change means we need to rethink and change the format of the economy,” says Anne Dionne, Centrale des syndicats du Québec vice president.

“You think economy, you think workers. So it’s important for us to be part of the solution.”

Dionne adds that many workers will be impacted as the economy shifts to more environmentally-friendly industries.
