'A lot of impatience': Youth climate protesters return to the streets
The Peninsula
London/Nairobi: Young climate activists from Greta Thunberg's Friday for Future movement resumed mass street protests on Friday for the first time since the pandemic began, demanding drastic action from global leaders ahead of U.N. climate talks in November.
From Nairobi to Washington, marchers - including Thunberg, who joined protests in Berlin - carried placards and homemade banners during the demonstrations, which drew fewer protesters than before COVID-19 in most cities.
"It's slightly disappointing there are less people than there used to be - but people will come back. The problem is not going away," said Erin Brodrick, 17, one of about 250 protesters in London's Parliament Square.
