Occupation Of The Place Du Chatelet By Extinction Rebellion

An environmental activist with a Flag Extension Rebellion passes a shelter made to protect himself from the rain and a banner that reads "We are all in the same boat" on Monday, October 7, 2019, when several hundred environmental activists members of the international movement Extinction Rebellion (XR) launched the occupation of the Place du Chatelet and the Pont au Change in Paris in order to alert the population and the French and international authorities to the climate emergency faced with the inaction of governments in the face of global warming. This action falls within the framework of the International Action Week, Rebellion Internationale d'Octobre (RIO) launched on Monday. (Photo by Samuel Boivin/NurPhoto)
