On Saturday 15th November workers, communities, and campaigners across Ireland and around the world, will march together to End Fossil Power. From the Amazon to Dublin, people will be taking to the streets to demand an end to the fossil fuel era and call for a just transition that delivers secure, decent, unionised jobs in a cleaner, fairer future.  

Organised by the Stop Climate Chaos coalition the march will start at 1pm on Saturday 15th November from the Garden of Remembrance, Dublin 1. Click here for more details about the march and the campaign

The march is part of a global effort around the COP30 in Brazil and has been endorsed by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU).  

At the COP30 summit workers and their unions will be calling on governments to deliver climate protection and prosperity and to keep their promises on quality green jobs. Read more about the International Trade Union Confederation’s demands for COP30 here.

It has never been more crucial to take action on climate change to stop all out climate chaos. Ten years on since the Paris Agreement, our leaders have to act.  Renewable energy is cleaner, cheaper, and safer than fossil fuels, yet we remain dependent on expensive fossil energy, thanks to the power and influence of the fossil fuel industry. 

That’s why communities need to join together, stand up and speak out, demanding government delivers faster and fairer climate action: fast enough to do Ireland’s fair share internationally and fair enough to make life better for people here and now. 

In Dublin, trade union members, students, and families will take to the streets in solidarity with frontline communities in the Global South and here at home to demand faster and fairer climate action fast enough to meet Ireland’s global responsibilities and fair enough to make life better for working people. 

Together, the march will call for warmer homes, lower bills, cleaner air, and good union jobs in a renewable future, and reject a system that locks us into dirty, expensive fossil fuels while denying new housing and public transport investment. 

In the heart of the Amazon, where indigenous communities are clinging on to protect one of Earth’s most vital ecosystems, the call will be clear: no more fossil-fuelled destruction. We will listen to their call and take to the streets of Dublin in our thousands to march in solidarity, and demand faster and fairer climate action from our government. 

On this international day of action, people in every corner of the globe will flood the streets of capitals to demand an end to the era of fossil fuels.   We must stand up to fossil power. People power is the best way to convince decision makers to act. Everyone is welcome, and everyone is needed. 

Join the march on 15th November and stand for justice, peace and a sustainable future that puts people and the planet first.  

Join a union that wins. Join Fórsa.
