Ældre i front under klimamarch i Stockholm

Flere tusinde mennesker samledes torsdag i Stockholm til en stor klimamarch anført af ældre demonstranter. Omkring 80 organisationer, herunder Naturskyddsföreningen, PRO og Svenska kyrkan, forenede sig under sloganet 'Lyt til videnskabsfolkene – reducer emissionerne nu' for at sætte klimaet på dagsordenen forud for efterårets valg.

En stor klimademonstration gik torsdag gennem Stockholm, hvor især ældre mennesker skilte sig ud i optoget. Flere tusinde deltog, da organisationer som Naturskyddsföreningen, Återställ våtmarker, PRO og Svenska kyrkan samledes for at presse på for klimaspørgsmål forud for efterårets valg.

78-årige Lena udtrykte sorg over fremtiden: “Man känner en sorg. Det finns en risk att barnbarnen kommer att få en väldigt komplicerad värld att ta hand om.” Stina, 85, sagde: “Klimatet är egentligen vårt största problem just nu och det verkar helt ha mörkats ned.” Agneta, 84, tilføjede: “Med tanke på hur viktigt det är så är det upprörande att så lite görs.”

Lena fortsatte: “Tragiskt att det här verkar vara en fråga för gamla människor. Vi har vårt dåliga samvete för vad vi har åstadkommit, men de unga människorna borde vara här.”

Martin Wadmark, klimaekspert hos WWF, bemærkede, at klimaet fortsat er en prioritet for svenskerne, men at emnet er gledet i baggrunden efter Fridays for Future. “Vi har inte riktigt den ungdomsrörelsen bakom frågan i dag,” sagde han. Han opfordrede den næste regering til at handle: “För vi vet exakt vad som behöver göras och vi har medel att göra det. Det är bara att det inte sker.”

Hvad folk siger

Diskussioner på X om den ældreledede klimamarch i Stockholm indeholder stærk kritik af den svenske kirkes samarbejde med grupper som Extinction Rebellion, hvilket bliver betegnet som venstreekstremt og forstyrrende for arbejdere; skeptiske bemærkninger om klimaaktivisme; samt neutrale delinger, der fremhæver de tusindvis af deltagere og det ældre lederskab.
