Climate protesters are set to take to the streets in more than 50 countries for a weekend of demonstrations to demand that governments phase out the burning of fossil fuels dangerously heating the planet.
In a year of mounting deaths and economic destruction from record-breaking floods, wildfires, and drought, protesters have planned more than five hundred gatherings – from Pakistan and Nigeria to the United States.
Organizers of the demonstrations expect the global turnout over the weekend to total more than one million people. That could make the action the largest international climate protest since before the COVID-19 pandemic when the “school strike” movement led by Swedish activist Greta Thunberg saw millions of people worldwide join marches.
