#climate-protests

Thousands of climate activists marched through Manhattan streets this weekend as part of a coordinated global wave of protests demanding urgent environmental change. The demonstration took place on the eve of Climate Week NYC, the world's largest climate event, which runs September 21-28 across all five boroughs of New York City. The timing of these protests underscores growing tensions between grassroots climate activism and institutional climate discussions...Activists are demanding more aggressive action from those with the greatest economic and political power.
