Climate change: Kids in Europe protest by skipping school

Young people across Europe have been skipping school and taking to the streets to demand politicians do more to tackle climate change.

Many of those protesting do not believe that leaders are doing enough to change things.

Their protest is inspired by 16 year old Swedish student Greta, who performs a school strike every Friday to protest in front of the Swedish parliament.
