Students are returning to the streets on Friday to call for a greener and better future, but this time adults are encouraged to join the strike.

Friday's protest has been organised by Youth for Climate alongside twelve organisations, including Caritas Luxembourg, Greenpeace, the Landesverband union, the OGBL, and the LCGB. These trade unions and NGOs have expressed solidarity with the youth and hope the protest goes beyond the students.

Participants will meet at four different locations before all marching towards Place de Clairefontaine, where organisers and guests will hold speeches. The four locations are Place de la Gare, Place de l'Europe in Kirchberg, in front of the Lycee de Garcons in Limpertsberg, and at the southern bus park at the Geesseknäppchen.

Traffic information

As to be expected, the march will likely cause traffic disruptions. The City of Luxembourg estimates that the United for Climate Justice event will cause traffic disruption between 2pm and 8pm. The march will kick off at 3pm and arrive at 4pm.

The Grand Ducal Police and Grand Ducal Fire and Rescue Corps will cover safety measures at all meeting points.

The following roads in all four routes are likely to be partially closed to traffic:

  • The courtyard in front of the Central station  – Avenue de la Gare – Boulevard de la Pétrusse – Pont Adolphe – Boulevard F.D. Roosevelt up to Place de la Constitution - Rue Chimay - Rue Notre-Dame - Place Clairefontaine.
