Youth Activists Hold Global Strike for the Climate
--------------------------------------------------

Youth climate activists staged a global strike Friday, after a year of
scaled-down and virtual protests due to the pandemic.

Climate striker: "What do we want?"

Climate strikers: "Climate justice!"

Climate striker: "When do we want it?"

Climate strikers: "Now!"

Climate striker: "No more…"

Climate strikers: "Empty promises!"

"No more empty promises!" chanted climate strikers in Kenya. Youth
activists from around the world called on their governments to treat the
climate catastrophe as an immediate crisis and fulfill their commitments
to cut emissions.
