1 / 24Italy Climate StrikeStudents demonstrate during a worldwide protest demanding action on climate change, in Turin, northern Italy, Friday, Sept. 27, 2019. The protests are inspired by Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg, who spoke to world leaders at a United Nations summit this week. BERLIN — Students took to the streets across the globe in the hundreds of thousands Friday for a second wave of worldwide protests demanding swift action on climate change.
On the other side of the planet, more than 100,000 rallied in Italy's capital, Rome, where protesters held up signs with slogans such as"Change the system, not the climate" or just the word"Future." In Berlin, activists from the Fridays for Future group braved persistent rain to protest against a package the German government recently agreed for cutting the country's greenhouse gas emissions. Experts say the proposal falls far short of what's needed if the world's sixth biggest emitter is to meet the goal of the Paris climate accord.
In Wellington, 18-year-old university student Katherine Rivers said it was great to see young people taking action and personal responsibility by marching. "It's not my future we're thinking about," McIntosh said. She said it was time politicians should listen to young people like Thunberg, whom she described as"amazing."
