Fridays for Future

Fridays for Future began in August 2018 when Swedish student Greta Thunberg started striking alone outside the Swedish parliament, and grew into a global youth climate movement. Students worldwide skip school on Fridays to demand governments act on the climate crisis in line with the Paris Agreement. During the Global Week for Future in September 2019, an estimated 7.6 million people joined strikes across more than 160 countries—among the largest climate mobilizations in history.
