German students walk out of school in climate change protest

16-year-old Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg takes part in a protest claiming for urgent measures to combat climate change, in Hamburg, Germany, Mar 1, 2019.

The protest is part of a global movement known as “School Strike 4 Climate” or “Fridays For Future” launched last August when Thunberg began protesting outside the Swedish parliament on school days. Thunberg said the school strikes would go on until politicians took firmer action against climate change.

The Hamburg demonstrators also demanded an end to coal-fired energy. Germany is planning to phase out coal by 2038 and has imposed higher emission standards on cars, but higher costs for cleaner vehicles and power are concerns for the government and the industry.
