On 16 March 2019, there was a big manifestation called “March of the century” which “more than 350 000 persons” participated based on a post on Facebook page of “Il est encore temps”[1]. It was on the same day of Act 18 of the Yellow vests movement and some of them joined as well[2]. The day before, students went on strike[3].
I think this movement as well as other movements happened before shows the higher consciousness for climate issues and citizen’s power to speak up to problems they see.
