Young global climate strikers vow change is coming – from the streets
(The Guardian, 24 Sep 2021) Mass youth protests to hit more than 1,400 locations weeks before Cop26 climate summit.
A global climate strike by youth protesters on Friday will hit more than 1,400 locations with a message that “change is coming – from the streets”.
The strike is the first such worldwide action since the coronavirus pandemic hit, and is taking place just weeks before the vital Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow, UK.
The UN secretary general, António Guterres, said on Tuesday the world was “seemingly light years away from reaching our targets”.
The youth strikes, along with the increasingly severe impacts of extreme weather, have been credited with raising the profile of the climate emergency.
In Germany, two days before the general election, mass protests are planned in 420 towns and cities, and Greta Thunberg will address protesters in front of the Bundestag in Berlin.
