Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
The CLIMATE MARCH, everyone was there!
We were over 60,000 strong in the streets of Brussels. Children, teens, parents, babies, grandparents, colleagues, groups of friends, collectives and associations made Brussels vibrate to the rhythm of the climate!
This year, we doubled participation –
A strong signal to policymakers
When ?
Every day, we keep bringing these issues to the forefront – thanks to you!
How ?
You were there on your own two feet, in your wheelchair, with your buggy! And with your creativity, your love for what matters to you. Thank you!

The journey
What was the march, exactly?
Bravo for your presence this Sunday 11 October 2026 at 2pm, we formed an unbroken sea of people from Gare du Nord to Brussels Schuman, and that until 6:30pm!
You, citizens affiliated with one of our member organisations or independent, you were there! To meet one another, warm up to the sound of drums and brass bands, listen to our speeches while waiting for the departure.
You danced and sang, or simply walked the whole route, what an ocean of hope and joy!

(update planned for June 2027)
Our objectives:
MARCH FOR THE CLIMATE and everything that comes with it!
- BECAUSE dignity and a future for everyone matter.
- BECAUSE we want to breathe cleaner air and protect our families’ health.
- BECAUSE we want to lower our energy bills and improve our purchasing power.
- BECAUSE we want a more stable world, less dependent on fossil fuels and the conflicts they cause.
WE WANT A PLAN — To switch to different energy!
Let’s free ourselves from fossil fuels, together.
Manneken Pis & Jeanneke Pis wants to break free from fossil fuels. So does Europe.
Climate disruption, deteriorating health, a ravaged environment, soaring energy bills – this toxic relationship is leading us from crisis to crisis.
Yet our governments still has no long-term plan to get us out..
Our demand is clear: a real phase-out plan for fossil fuels.
We want concrete steps, kept commitments, and a just transition that leaves no one behind.
Bearable summer heat, clean air, healthy nature, renewable energy, insulated homes – this is not a utopia. It just takes political courage.
Let us free ourselves from fossil fuels. March with us for the climate.
We march to push for climate ambition and to stop things from going backwards.
Bravo for this 11/10!
