Last Sunday, 2nd December, Irene and I joined the #claimtheclimate demonstration in Brussels, Belgium, together with about 70,000 people. That on the first day of the COP24 2018 Climate Conference in Katowice, Poland.
I call this Fearless Action. Is it? How is this kind of action related to fear/fearlessness? People demonstrate because they want the system (politics, economics etc.) to change, not the climate. A livable earth with a balanced nature is only possible if mankind behaves as being part of nature.

I was inspired by Hugo & Irene... and all... to create a short video on "Greta, Fear and Youths' Future(s)" based on what is going on at the climate summit in Poland...

Lovely pic, in action, on the lines... indeed, it is related to fear/fearlessness... and, perhaps you mean the same thing by "fearless action" as Four Arrows (aka Dr. Don Trent Jacobs) means when he uses "fearless engagement" (see my book "Fearless Engagement...." (2018) [1]... I'm most curious, what from your perspective (Hugo) is the purpose or need or interest in using "fearless" period? Why not say it was a brave, or courageous "action"? That I am curious about... and, maybe in the European context in which you were involved in this protest, there is something we can learn from (especially, being in Canada)... (?) -M.
