climate strikes
Youth activism marches
Climate strikes are organized protests, typically by students, demanding action on climate change.
Participants skip school or work to march and rally, pressuring governments and institutions to address global warming.
The movement gained momentum in 2018 when Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg began striking outside parliament: Thousands of students joined the global climate strike.
