Greenpeace campaign

Kochi: Environmentalists under the banner of Greenpeace on Saturday walked from the International Stadium to the Marine drive as part of the organisation’s Blue Alert campaign.

The campaign poses the question “What could be the coastline if the climate crisis is not prevented?” As many as 200 persons including K.S. Manoj, MP, walked to the tune of a local band and demanded that steps be taken to prevent the climate crisis in the coastlines.

The Blue Alert campaign has alerted people through posting climate hazard signs, slapping eviction notice on buildings under threat of submergence and organising climate migrant kiosks in vulnerable localities in the five coastal cities of Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Kochi and Panjim, according to a Greenpeace release.
