What is the Global Climate Strike?<\/h2>\n

Young people around the word have been leading the fight against climate change. They are now asking everyone to join them in the fight for their future. The strikes have been set to bookend the meeting of global leaders at the\u00a0United Nations Climate Action Summit<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0taking place September 23. Actions have been planned in 150 countries around the globe and everyone is encouraged to participate. A worldwide show of solidarity will make it clear to all leaders that we expect ambitious action against climate change, and we expect it now.<\/p>\n
