The Fridays for Future mission includes a mandate to speak on behalf of, and to amplify, the voices of the world’s most affected people and places who are suffering the worst forces of human-induced climate change. We identify the entities (mainly fossil fuel corporations) responsible for human-induced climate change, and we raise awareness to help stop climate change. Increasingly, the perpetrators of greenhouse emissions are reckoning with climate crimes in court and we are closely watching victory after victory by plaintiffs seeking legal recourse.
