Specifically, the activists will march from one station to the other via “Boulevard Roi Albert II, Boulevard du Jardin Botanique, Boulevard Pachéco, Boulevard de Berlaimont, Boulevard de l'Impératrice, Carrefour de l'Europe, Boulevard de l'Impératrice, Rue Infante Isabelle, Cantersteen, Boulevard de l'Empereur, Rue des Alexiens, Rue des Bogards, Place Fontainas, Boulevard Maurice Lemonnier, Boulevard Poincaré, Esplanade de l'Europe,” the spokesperson added.
Around 2,700 people have clicked 'interested' on the Facebook page for the climate strike in Brussels.
“Nice words from politicians still are not bringing the action that is needed. The bar must be raised - everyone's future [is at stake]!” United For Climate explain on their website.
A week later, on Sunday 8 December, climate NGOs will set up a human chain around Brussels, to coincide with the UN climate summit in Madrid.
COP25, initially scheduled to take place in Chile, will take place from 2 to 13 December in Madrid, Spain.
