Climate strike: US students walk out of classes as part of global protest live
Young people, inspired by Greta Thunberg, rally on 15 March to press politicians to act on climate change. Climate strikes take place in more than 100 countries. Tens of thousands of children and young people in more than 100 countries have gone on strike to challenge politicians to take decisive action on climate change.
From small actions, like that of students who went on strike for the first time across India, to large demonstrations in the UK, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Sweden and Australia, the strike for climate action spread across more than 2,000 events.
The co-ordinated strikes were organised via social media by volunteers in the countries under the banner of Fridays for Future.
In India, more than 200 children walked out of classes in Delhi to protest against inaction on tackling climate change, and similar protests took place on a smaller scale in 30 towns and cities. Vidit Baya, 17, who is in his last year at MDS public school in Udaipur, said: In India no one talks about climate change. You dont see it on the news, or in the papers or hear about it from government.
