Organizers said that the walk aims to amplify the call for climate justice and urge immediate action from global leaders to tackle the climate crisis, especially for vulnerable nations such as the Philippines.
Ian Rivera, national coordinator of the Philippine Movement for Climate Justice, said that the walk serves as a reminder of the responsibility of developed countries to act with ambition and shift to a rapid and just energy transition.
