Protesters in smoke-covered Australian city of Sydney kick off a fresh round of global protests against climate change
Students gather during a rally calling for action on climate change in front of the Liberal Party headquarters in Sydney on November 29, 2019.
The protests have taken on extra urgency in Australia – the country's southeast has been devastated by hundreds of damaging bushfires in recent weeks. "Our government's inaction on the climate crisis has supercharged bushfires," said school strike leader Shiann Broderick. "People are hurting. Communities like ours are being devastated. Summer hasn't even begun."
"I feel a sense of crisis because almost no one in Japan is interested" in climate change, said 19-year-old student Mio Ishida."I thought if I didn't act now, it would be too late. I wanted to do something I could do." The meeting will focus largely on finalising the "rulebook" for the 2015 Paris climate treaty, which becomes operational in 2021.
