The Climate Coalition organized a demonstration in Brussels to demand a concrete plan for phasing out fossil fuels and securing more funding for the energy transition. Organizers advocated for taxing fossil fuel profits, reducing government subsidies, and increasing nature conservation, while also paying tribute to those affected by extreme heat and wildfires. On October 11, tens of thousands of people participated in the march, which targeted the area surrounding European Union institutions. While police estimated the crowd at approximately 45,000, organizers reported roughly 60,000 attendees. The protest occurred ahead of the COP31 United Nations climate summit in Antalya, Türkiye, with demonstrators reiterating demands for ending fossil fuel subsidies, expanding urban green spaces, and ensuring a fair transition for workers. Campaigners noted that political momentum appears to be waning, citing the United States’ withdrawal from international climate efforts and the European Commission’s proposed delays regarding certain methane reporting obligations.
