Hundreds of schoolchildren take part in a climate protest in Hong Kong. Students in more than 80 countries and territories worldwide plan to skip class on Friday in protest over their governments' failure to act against global warming. March 15, 2019. Students worldwide are skipping class on Friday and taking to the streets to protest their governments' failure to take sufficient action against global warming.
Friday's rallies are expected to be one of the biggest international actions yet. Protests were under way or planned in cities in more than 100 countries, including Hong Kong; New Delhi; Wellington, New Zealand; and Oulo, Finland. "One can't expect children and young people to see all of the global connections, what's technically reasonable and economically possible," said the head of Germany's pro-business Free Democratic Party, Christian Lindner. "That's a matter for professionals."
In 2015, world leaders agreed in Paris to a goal of keeping the Earth's global temperature rise by the end of the century well below 2 degrees Celsius . In Germany, environmental groups and experts have attacked government plans to continue using coal and natural gas for decades to come.
