Today, thousands of adults, teenagers and children are expected to take to the streets to protest against climate change and global warming.

People will be protesting in over 150 countries across the globe, calling on world leaders to take vital action to save our planet ahead of the United Nation’s climate action summit on 23 September.

The global climate strike has been organised by Greta Thunberg, a 16-year-old activist and all-round hero who has been protesting against global warming every Friday for over a year. Her protests started a global school climate strike movement, called Fridays for Future. This is the first Friday that adults will be joining teenagers and children in their protest, and we’re aiming to make as much noise as possible.
