Original title: Thousands of people swim and kayak in the sea to protest on the second day of the G7 Summit
Overseas Network, June 13th. On the second day of the Group of Seven Summit (G7 Summit) on the 12th, thousands of people staged paddle protests near local beaches, calling for more protection for the global ocean.
According to reports from the British “Guardian” and other media on the 12th, near a beach in Falmouth, Cornwall, more than a thousand surfers, kayaking enthusiasts and swimmers from all over the United Kingdom held an underwater protest. The leaders of the G7 summit lacked action on the issue of climate change.
Some surfers launched banners demanding “Save our oceans”, while others chanted “Don’t let our planet die” and other slogans. A huge inflatable shark also appeared on the sea to express concern about the problem of marine life eating waste plastic. Westcott, from Gloucestershire, UK, said in an interview: “Today (we) is going to send a message to governments that the world needs to take action to better protect our oceans and the environment.”
On the 11th, in many areas tens of kilometers away from the G7 summit venue, a large number of people held demonstrations to protest against the G7’s “empty promise” in vaccine distribution and response to global challenges such as climate change. Lack of practical action. (Overseas Net Zhang Ni)
