On March 15, up to a million school students around the world took part in a global strike to protest what they see as inaction on climate change by adults, in particular politicians and lawmakers. 

This global youth movement is being led by a 16-year-old from Sweden, who has been nominated for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.
