Italy: Activists to conduct protest march in Rome Nov. 16
Climate activists to march from Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II to Via Prenestina in Rome, Italy, 15:00 Nov. 16. Transport disruptions likely.
Climate activists plan to march from Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II to 173 Via Prenestina in Rome from 15:00 on Nov. 16. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand that leaders attending the COP29 climate conference take urgent action to combat climate change. Approximately 3,000 participants are expected.
Police will likely deploy along the march route to facilitate the procession. The march will likely disrupt vehicular transport along the march route. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers, frustrated motorists, or opposed individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near or between Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II and Via Prenestina. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
