Third global climate strike, live updates

Here we are. The day of the third global climate strike has finally arrived.
More than a year ago, Greta Thunberg was sitting alone outside the Swedish parliament to demand more effective action on climate. Six months ago, students joined her in the first global strike, creating a movement that has achieved so much since then. Today, young people — and not only them — are ready to make history and bring about the largest environmental demonstration ever organised.
More than 150 nations have joined the strike organised by Fridays for Future, which this time will involve people of all ages: marching alongside the students will be their parents, teachers, scientists, workers and some trade unions, all united in a green wave ready to sweep through cities across the world.

The climate strike live from Italy
Italy is here. More than 160 cities have organised events in their squares: from Turin to Palermo, from Bologna to Naples, Italians have taken to the streets and joined the protests. It is worth recalling that during the first climate strike on 15 March, Italy was the country that recorded the highest number of participants.
