It's for our children like Teddy, that we need to act to prevent climate breakdown. 

The climate strike movement, inspired by Greta Thunberg, a 16-year-old Swedish climate activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee has gone global. 

From Sweden to Australia, from the USA to India, strikes took place in more than 100 countries and 2,000 cities including Oxford. Many parents and even schools have given their support to the strikers, along with organisations like Greenpeace and public figures such as US Senator Bernie Sanders.



School students in more than 100 countries have begun a series of strikes to demand that politicians take urgent action on climate change. The coordinated protests were organised on social media under the Fridays for Future banner.

Greta Thunberg a 16-year-old Swedish inspired the protests. She is now in her 30th week of striking on Fridays.
