Receiving points for refugees in Greece are being shut down, galvanizing a call from human rights activists in Lesbos to keep the north shore open. Refugee Rescue, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) team operating in the country’s North Shore, claimed in a statement that the closure will be devastating for both refugees and local communities.
Student climate change activists staged a large protest in the city center of Brussels, Belgium on Thursday, Jan. 31. Tens of thousands of teenage students walked out of their classrooms to call for government action addressing climate change, holding signs with slogans like “no nature, no future,” and “if the climate were a bank, it would have been saved by now.” The 35,000 student protesters joined a mounting number of demonstrations across Europe.
