As part of efforts to draw attention to climate change, French and Italian climate activists on Friday blocked the Mont Blanc tunnel’s entrances in Chamonix on the French side and in Courmayeur on the Italian side.

About 20 activists from Derniere Renovation (France) and Ultima Generazione (Italy), two sister organizations that are a part of the A22 civil resistance movement, participated in the action, which began at 1130 GMT.

The action was aimed at putting pressure on the French and Italian governments to act to limit climate change.

“We are blocking the road today to open a new route for tomorrow’s children,” 28-year-old Luca from Ultra Generazione was quoted as saying.

Story was adapted from Reuters.
