This month, the United Nations Climate Summit will be held on September 9 (Monday).Prior to this conference, the Global Climate March is an action that declares a climate emergency all over the world and calls on each country to take fair climate change measures based on scientific data.
In 2018, a Swedish high school girl who felt a sense of crisis about the current global climate change took action, and this sense of crisis and the wave of action spread to young people all over the world. It will develop into a movement called "Fridays For Future".Adults also participate in this movement for climate change that started with young people!In response to this call, the Global Climate March will be held as an action that young people and adults will work together to take.
Burton declares to participate in this action. With the slogan "Closed for Business, Open for Action," all Burton offices and flagship stores are closed all day, with employees around the world at their locations. It seems that it will be possible to participate in the demonstration march.On the day of the event, we will stop ordering online stores and redirect visitors to the Global Climate March website to promote this movement.
"Greta Thunberg and students around the world were impressed with the Fridays for Future activity, which appealed to adults every Friday to be more interested in the climate crisis. Burton is a winter outdoor experience. I want to help future generations to enjoy it. That's why I decided to participate in this Greta movement as a company. As Greta says, we are Everyone is on the same ship. This is a problem that everyone should have a sense of crisis. "
