On 30 August 2019, outside of United Nations Headquarters in New York City, a youth climate activist speaks during a demonstration calling for global action to combat climate change.

In August of 2018, Swedish youth activist Greta Thunberg, then 15, started what became a movement – called 'Fridays for Future' – in her home country of Sweden, skipping school to stand outside of the Swedish parliament advocating for action on climate change. Youth activist Alexandria Villaseñor, then 13, was inspired by a speech made by Thunberg at the UN Climate Change Conference in Poland in December 2018. Every Friday since, she has stationed herself – skipping class throughout the academic calendar – on a bench outside of UN Headquarters, next to signs reading "School Strike 4 Climate". Today's event was a continuation of their efforts – and of the movement that has gained momentum internationally in the past year – with hundreds joining Thunberg and Villaseñor to demand action on climate change. The United Nations will convene a Climate Change Summit on 23 September in New York, as part of events leading up to this year’s general debate. The debate, held annually, brings together world leaders to discuss pressing global issues. As a lead-up the Summit, the youth activists have organized a New York City Climate Strike for 20 September, with similar actions scheduled in more than 150 locations worldwide. Rather than crossing the Atlantic via airplane, Thunberg traveled to New York with her father on a carbon-neutral (zero emissions) boat – a journey that lasted two weeks – to raise awareness of the issue of greenhouse gas emissions within the context of our changing climate. Thunberg – who is taking a year-long sabbatical from school to focus her efforts on advocating for climate action in the Americas –plans to attend the 25th Climate Change Conference in Chile in December.
