On Friday, March 15th, an estimated 1.4 million students in 123 countries around the world took part in demonstrations to demand action against climate change. The protests were inspired by the movement ‘School strike for climate’ led by the Swedish activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Greta Thunberg.

Here is a collection of photos from the day in Glasgow:

‘Climate is changing. Why aren’t you?’
