“Thousands of strikes have been planned across the world,” Llenas continued. Over 150 countries, over 300,000 people showing up in Australia, organizers estimate there. … There have been protests throughout Europe, including the U.K., Germany and Poland, as thousands of young people there demanding that more be done.”
Other commentators and journalists also shared videos and pictures of the climate change protests from around the world, including activist Greta Thunberg who helped kickstart the student climate strike movement.
