Civil society organizations pledge solidarity for Paris


A
s French officials signaled tougher "security" measures will be implemented in the wake of the Paris attacks, civil society organizations from around the world on Monday sent a message of solidarity with all impacted by war and violence and declared that they will fulfill their "duty" to mobilize for climate justice at the upcoming UN climate talks in the city.

"The world we have always defended is not the one we saw on that night. The world that we defend is one of peace, justice, the fight against inequality and climate change," declared the Coalition Climat 21, a coalition of over 130 labor unions, solidarity associations, human rights groups, and social movements. The network expressed solidarity with "the victims of the 12 November in Beirut and those of 13 November in Paris, as well as their families and loved ones."
