Some 150 Extinction Rebellion activists led symbolic action on Saturday in Bern. They urged the Federal Council and the Parliament to take action against the climate and biodiversity crises.
According to their press release, the aim of the action was to “feel the crisis and confront your emotions and then take action”. Activists have set up a gallows for this purpose in Federal Square. Different speakers have warned of the planet’s death if action is not taken quickly.
This action was part of the global campaign #NoGoingBack (no turning back), which highlights the need for “an immediate transformation of our system of society” and is committed to ensuring that the world turns away from a policy “Which destroys the foundations of life.”
Activists say 2020 is a pivotal year for critical decisions to “prevent the climate catastrophe and the collapse of ecosystems.”
