Young people who will once again take the streets across Europe on Friday 7 February 2020 have understood it: oceans need protection as much as any other ecosystem on the planet.

Friday's march, as part of the Fridays for Future movement, is supported by Ocean Week 2020, a civil society coalition that tells the dire truth: "Overfishing. Pollution. Acidification. Warming. Our precious ocean and the life that calls it home are now more at risk than ever before."

Austria’s Green Justice Minister with a migrant background, @Alma_Zadic, was met with a wave of racist and sexist hatred after joining the Austrian government.

On #worldNGOday we celebrate the valuable work of NGOs but also warn of the shrinking civic space in Europe. In an era when sea rescuers in the Mediterranean are regularly prosecuted or when NGOs are labelled “foreign agents” - we cannot stay silent! https://t.co/GLqQe0deNo
