Organizers estimate more than 300,000 protesters took to Australian streets in climate action rallies in what would be the largest demonstrations the country has seen since the Iraq war began in 2003.
Hundreds of thousands of young people are gearing up for the Global Climate Strike to raise awareness on climate change and urge lawmakers to create policies to help save the planet ahead of the United Nations Climate Summit next week.
The lead organizer for the New York City march, 19-year-old Shiv Soin, told ABC News that more than 15,000 people have marked that they're interested in attending on the event's Facebook page. Demonstrators in New York will meet at a rally in Foley Square and march south to Battery Park, where 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg will be among the speakers, Soin said.
