1.Fridays for Future is a global movement of young people who no longer want to close their eyes to climate change. A movement of a generation that wants to fight not only for the protection of the environment but also for its own future.
2. Movement wants to draw attention to the climate policy abuses and bring the policy to put climate protection on the agenda.
3. The protest movement refers to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change in 2015, which limits the global average temperature increase to less than 2°C (now even to 1.5°C).
4. To limit the global warming, climate change activists call for an end to fossil fuel extraction, the abolition of fossil fuel subsidies, increased investment in renewable energy, and the expansion of the local public transport possibilities.
5. It started on August 20, 2018, when Greta Thunberg did not go to school. Instead, she sat in front of the parliament building in Stockholm during class time – every day for three weeks. With her she carried a sign saying “Skolstrejk för klimatet” (Swedish for school strike for climate protection).
