Here we go. The third Global Climate Strike is finally here.

More than a year ago, Greta Thunberg, was sitting alone in front of the Swedish parliament striking for more concrete actions against climate change. Six months ago, students from all over the world joined her protests in what was the first global climate strike. Little did they know what they were creating. Today, young people are ready to make history with the biggest climate rally ever organized.

More than 150 countries have joined the Fridays for Future strike. This time people of all ages will take the streets and rally in tandem with their parents, their teachers, scientists, workers and trade unions. Their green army is ready to conquer the world.
