Hundreds of young people in Cardiff have abandoned their studies for the day to join the third ‘School Strike for Climate’.

​

They claim there is very little time to mend environmental damage and slow down climate change.

​

This is one of thousands of protests happening in the UK and the world, campaigning for governments to take more action.

​

Organisers of the march in Cardiff urged voters to put climate change at the top of their priorities for next month’s general election.

​

The protests were supported by local environmental activist groups.

​

Becky Harford, from Friends of the Earth Cymru, said: “It’s really difficult trying to take individual action.

​

 It’s more about community action, trying to get people together where I live to make the community use less plastic.”
