London, UK. 15th February, 2019. Thousands of students gather in Parliament Square to take part in a YouthStrike4Climate for Climate Day. Streets around Westminster were later blocked by a mixture of sit-down and moving protests for around an hour. Strike events involving schools all over the UK were organised by UK Student Climate Network and the UK Youth Climate Coalition to demand that the Government declare a climate emergency and take positive steps to address the climate crisis, including highlighting the issue as part of the school curriculum, as well as lowering the voting age to 16.
