BERN, Switzerland (AN) — The world is on fire. Adults failed to stop it, so they should get out of the way and let children lead. A protest movement of youth who feel betrayed by adult inaction on climate change has been taking wing, spreading that message worldwide.
Hundreds of students marched in the Swiss capital as part of the Fridays for Future groundswell movement, also known as Youth for Climate and Youth Strike 4 Climate. Their strikes were not affiliated with any political party, but they helped rally support for efforts by international organizations to promote global cutbacks in carbon emissions.
