  • PARIS, FRANCE-- On December 2, 2015, activists from 350.org chanted "keep it in the ground" while bouncing a symbolic 'carbon bubble' in the air at COP21.

<br />
Today is the third day of COP21 which is being held in Paris, France, at the Le Bourget conference center. <br />

  • Various African and the small islands civil society groups made an action this afternoon at the UN climate talks, in Paris to demand for a binding agreement that will see the temperatures reduce by 1.5 degrees celsius.<br />
 <br />
<br />
In April 2015, African ministers called for a strong Paris Agreement that will also highlight the climate finance strategy.<br />
 <br />
<br />
With more than 150 countries set to approve a new climate change agreement under the UN in Paris, the civil society stressed the region’s readiness and requirement for accelerated financing of low-carbon development.<br />
 <br />
<br />
Africa, with its vulnerable populations and vast potential, has perhaps the most to lose from climate change and the most to gain from an effective climate change agreement.<br />

Students from The US made an Action this afternoon at the Green Climate Zone to pressure the negotiators to address the need of environmental justice to the low income and communities of colour in the US. The die in session at the Green generation zone was turned out positive with all the activists lying on the floor.<br />
 <br />
<br />
Low income and communities of colour are hit hard by toxic waste from industries and climate change yet the government has shown less interest in addressing the situation.<br />
 <br />
<br />
They cannot breathe because chemicals and other toxic wastes are allowed to contaminate the air. Sierra student put out an open question to the negotiators "Do you know what its like to be scared to go outside because you cannot breath"<br />
