Today’s massive climate strike will see students across the country skip school to march in protest of the government’s lack of action against the climate change crisis.
Inspired by Swedish 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, marches like this have been growing since the teenager first took time off school to demonstrate outside Swedish parliament in August 2018.
Australian school protesters want the Federal Government to commit to:
• No new coal, oil or gas projects
• 100 per cent renewable energy generation and exports by 2030
• Funding for "a just transition and job creation for all fossil-fuel industry workers and communities"
