\"Global<\/p>\n

Tomorrow marks the start of climate protests across the planet on a scale that is likely to be the largest the world has ever seen.<\/p>\n

School strikers are aiming to make September 20 protests against fossil fuels and in support of climate justice their biggest yet, and millions of adults are expected to join in. The date is significant – just a few days before a UN climate action summit<\/a> being held in New York; the one Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison won’t be attending<\/a> ( even though apparently he’ll be in the U.S.).<\/p>\n

“By taking time off school and work together around the world, we\u2019ll show our politicians that people everywhere want climate justice and we\u2019re not going away until we get it,” says the Australian SchoolStrike4Climate<\/a> web site. “We\u2019ll strike in solidarity for everyone who\u2019s already being hurt by the climate crisis and everyone who will be impacted if we don\u2019t act now: workers, first nations people, young people, mining communities and more.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not Business As Usual<\/h2>\n

Part of the action is Not Business As Usual<\/a>, a group of businesses and organisations supporting worker participation in the climate strike. The organiser is Australian superannuation fund Future Super, which is closing its doors for the day. As at last night, 1,878 businesses and organisations in Australia and across the world had joined the alliance.<\/p>\n

Some Australian governments have also signalled their support of the action. Among them is Victoria’s Andrews Labor government, which reportedly<\/a> gave permission for public servants to stop work to join a climate rally in Melbourne’s CBD.<\/p>\n

As for the Federal Government, well, Prime Minister Morrison recently warned businesses about “distractions<\/a>“. He didn’t mention the climate change debate specifically, perhaps learning something after the backlash when he admonished student strikers<\/a> back in November last year.<\/p>\n

However, it seems Australians do want businesses to get involved. A CEDA nationwide poll published this week states more than three-quarters<\/a> of survey respondents supported business leaders speaking out on social and environmental issues.<\/p>\n

Finding A Climate Strike Event<\/h2>\n

Lists of events on Friday are available on the GlobalClimateStrike<\/a> and SchoolStrike4Climate<\/a> web sites – and there looks to be bunch organised in Australia.<\/p>\n

“Together, we will sound the alarm and show our politicians that business as usual is no longer an option,” says GlobalClimateStrike. “The climate crisis won\u2019t wait, so neither will we.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The impact on productivity on Friday will have a financial cost – but it pales in comparison to the financial<\/a>, environmental and human costs of climate change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
