People take to the streets of Polish capital Warsaw as part of the global Fridays for Future climate strike. Young people from around the world are leading a massive coordinated strike from school on Friday to protest government and business inaction on climate change. It is likely to be one of the largest environmental protests in history. The strikes are inspired by Greta Thunberg, who rose to fame after she began sitting outside the Swedish parliament in August last year to get members to act on climate change.
