“Polluters and corporations dominated this conference with their empty talk, so we walk away from it in protest. Polluters talk, we walk”, said the chair of Friends of the Earth International (FOEI), Jagoda Munic, on Thursday.

Many organizations (hundreds of people) walked out today of the UN climate talks, the 19th Conference of the Parties (COP) that is taking place in Warsaw, Poland, in protest against the developed countries’ lack of action and after several warnings made by scientists that we are heading towards catastrophic climate change.

“While people around the world are paying with their lives and livelihoods, and the risk of runaway climate change draws closer, we cannot sit by this egregious inaction and let corporate profits come before peoples’ lives,” said Munic, in a press release issued today by FOEI.
