The global climate strike is taking place in businesses and school across the world today in an event sparked by activist Greta Thunberg to draw attention to the climate emergency.

It is part of a succession of strikes led by children on Fridays, but this time encourages adults and businesses to take part.

Lush, which has built a reputation for vegan, packaging-free and no palm oil products, has closed more than 900 stores in 49 countries in support of the protests.
