The second youth led global climate strike is planned for today (Friday 27) with school students, activists and people concerned about the scientific evidence of global warming from last year's IPCC report, march to demand new action from political leaders.
Last week over 4 million people mobilised on mass in an effort to gain the attention of governments and seek climate justice.
This week has seen the United Nations Climate Summit in New York and child activists have also met, with 16 of them including several Pacifika teens taking a legal case to the Committee of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, hoping to protect all children from the devastating impacts of the crisis.
