More than 1,500 Amazon workers are expected to walk out of their jobs in support of the Global Climate Strike, saying CEO Jeff Bezos' newly-unveiled climate pledge is 'not nearly enough.'
More than 1,500 Amazon workers are expected to walk out of their jobs Friday in support of the Global Climate Strike, saying in a statement that CEO Jeff Bezos' newly-unveiled climate pledge is"not nearly enough."
Naidu said she was “cautiously celebratory” over Bezos’ announcement, “but we’re really hoping for even more than that.” Shortly after the Bezos' Climate Pledge was announced Thursday, the group spearheading the protest, Amazon Employees For Climate Justice, put out a statement lauding Bezos' efforts but added that"we know it's not enough."
A keystone of Bezos' and Amazon's"Climate Pledge" is meeting the tenets lined out in the international Paris Agreement ten years ahead of schedule. "The Paris Agreement was a political agreement, not a scientific one," the statement said, calling"historically high-polluting countries to look beyond the Paris Agreement, because meeting its targets, even 10 years ahead of schedule, does not, by itself, put us on a pathway to a livable planet."
