Today’s Global Climate Strike resulted in millions of people taking to the streets in protest of governmental inaction toward the threats of climate change, and the scenes of marches from across the world have been stunning. The event, which grew out of Greta Thunberg’s “school strike for climate change,” occurred in roughly 4,500 locations across the globe, in 150 countries. Below is a series of videos and pictures taken from twitter that represent the turnout at some of the most notable protests.

Freiburg

In Freiburg, Germany, a city with a population of roughly 227,000, tens of thousands of people showed up to protest. In this clip they clap in unison. The local clarion call: “Like the sea, we rise.”

New York City

In New York City, an estimated 1.1 million students were given permission to skip school and join in the protest. One source says tens of thousands of “Manhattan kids” alone showed up. Also amongst the group of protesters in New York, Thunberg herself.

Cape Town

In Cape Town, South Africa, one source estimates 2,000 people showed up for the protests. Below is a scene of school children lambasting denial of climate issues by authorities

London

In London, an estimated 100,000 people showed up for the protest. Jeremy Corbyn, the current leader of England’s Labour Party, stands on stage in front of a crowd chanting his name.

Sydney

In Sydney, Australia, one source reports a gathering of roughly 80,000 people. There were roughly 100 other protests in the country as well, which drew an estimated 300,000 people in total.

Delhi

In Delhi, India’s national capital territory, protesters switch back and forth between English and Hindi. In English, they chant “We want climate justice.”

And finally, here’s a short clip of Thunberg calling for a school strike for climate justice back in 2018. The video is one source of inspiration for the Global Climate Strike, and as of this writing has more than 4.8 million views.
