Youth Climate Strike

The Youth Climate Strike is a global movement led by young people advocating for urgent action on climate change. It gained momentum in 2018 when Swedish activist Greta Thunberg began skipping school to protest outside her parliament, calling for stronger climate policies. Inspired by her, students worldwide organize strikes and demonstrations, demanding that governments take significant steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to renewable energy, and protect the environment. The movement highlights the role of the younger generation in addressing climate issues, emphasizing that they will bear the long-term consequences of today's environmental decisions.
