Friday 7 September 2018.

A 15-year old Greta Thunberg leaves the steps of the Swedish Parliament after three weeks of solitary protest. Skipping school, she was out to send a clear message to Swedish MPs on the eve of a national election: urgent action to address the climate crisis now.

Fridays 20 & 27 September 2019.

The global “Week for Future”. Nearly six million people across 155 countries leave their school or workplace to do the same. Principals encourage students to participate. Businesses shut. City centres close.

The combined protests on 20 & 27 September were the largest in history for any environmental cause, and are eclipsed only by the global rallies against the Iraqi war in terms of total numbers for a combined protest event (6-10 million rallied for peace in 2003).
