As French officials signaled tougher “security” measures will be implemented in the wake of the Paris attacks, civil society organizations from around the world on Monday sent a message of solidarity with all impacted by war and violence and declared that they will fulfill their “duty” to mobilize for climate justice at the upcoming UN climate talks in the city.

“The world we have always defended is not the one we saw on that night. The world that we defend is one of peace, justice, the fight against inequality and climate change,” declared the Coalition Climat 21, a coalition of over 130 labor unions, solidarity associations, human rights groups, and social movements. The network expressed solidarity with “the victims of the 12 November in Beirut and those of 13 November in Paris, as well as their families and loved ones.”

“Our struggle for climate justice will not stop,” the statement continued. “We have a duty to stand up and continue to fight for a just and livable planet for all. We will continue to mobilize to build a world free of wars, and atrocities, and the ravages of the climate crisis. We will continue to bring solutions and alternatives to fight against climate change.”

The coalition vowed: “we will implement all our efforts to hold all the mobilizations currently planned.”

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Manuel Valls claimed on Monday in an interview with RTL Radio that “a series of demonstrations planned will not take place and it will be reduced to the negotiations…a lot of concerts and festivities will be canceled.”

And French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Sunday that the UN Conference of the Parties 21 (COP21), scheduled for the end of November, “will go ahead with reinforced security measures.” This point has been reiterated by UN officials, including Christiana Figueres, the executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and Ban Ki-moon, UN secretary-general.

Before the attacks, France was already preparing to mobilize at least 30,000 police officers and enforce border checks—in what was criticized as a repressive response to the mass protests slated to take place. In the wake of Friday’s massacre, the entire continent of Europe is undergoing a dramatic—and some say dangerous—expansion of surveillance, policing, and raids that disproportionately target Arabs, Muslims, people of color, and immigrants.

“Despite the emotion and sadness, we refuse to give in to terror, we reject the society of fear, stigmatization and scapegoating,” declared Attac, a French organization which opposes neoliberal globalization. “We affirm our determination to continue to circulate, to work, to entertain us, to hold meetings and fight freely.”
