What: Protesters are taking action to “fix” climate change. These protesters argued to limit the rise of the global average temperature so it does not reach to 2ºC above than what it was during the pre-industrial times. Once the Earth goes past these two degrees it could have huge and dangerous effects on our climate. The main goal of the COP21 is to figure a way to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gasses.COP21 (Conference of the Parties) UN Paris Climate Summit is the final call to take any action against temperature risings of climate change.
When: Protest in Paris was November 29, 2015 and the COP21 Summit is November 30th- December 11th.

Why: Climate Change has been something that the world has battled for decades and we can’t wait any longer to take action. It is critical that our planet have a clean environment and a cooler temperature for wildlife and our life benefits. Climate Change is an imminent threat to society and must be changed and freedom of speech is also a basic right and must be protected.
