Youth walk out of COP21 to demand real climate solutions and show support for the ''Keep It in the Ground' declaration

PARIS, FRANCE-- Youth campaigners at COP21 walk out to protest in front of the conference hall to demand real solutions to the climate crisis. The activists and campaigners are in support of the 'Keep It in the Ground' declaration which denounces the "toothless technofixes and impotent market-based interventions being forced through the COP, such as REDD, youth representatives instead will endorse a vision of the vital steps needed to keep fossil fuels in the ground through a just and science-based transition." They gathered among the flags in front of the COP21 conference center, linked arms, chanted, and held banners which read "No Peace Without Climate Justice" and "No to False Solutions."

On December 11, 2015, the COP21 is at the end of it's second week of negotiations at the United Nations Climate Change conference. The COP21 is being held in Paris, France, at the Le Bourget conference center.
