Global Youth-Led Climate Protests Demand Faster Action

Protests coincide with Climate Week NYC and UN summits, calling for an end to fossil fuels and financial accountability.

Youth activists from Fridays for Future organized global protests in cities including New York, Berlin, Rio de Janeiro, and New Delhi.
The protests aim to target fossil fuel companies, financial institutions funding them, and leaders failing to address climate change.
New York's Climate Week and UN General Assembly events are focusing on raising funds to help poorer nations affected by climate change.
Since the inception of Fridays for Future in 2018, global carbon dioxide emissions have increased by 2.15%, despite slowed growth.
Developing countries are calling for financial assistance to transition away from fossil fuels, as clean energy sources grow faster than fossil fuels in recent years.
