''Our future generations need us'' said Miss Fazila Ishfaq ,Environment Activist.

Cultural activist Sheema Kermani, while addressing a charged group of people, said that everyone should be involved in the event "because it (climate change) is going to affect us all".

She said the aim of the march was to bring climate change to the knowledge of the government as they are responsible for environmental emergencies.
As the crowds begun to swell, protestors started chanting: “What do we want? Climate justice!”
Say ''NO'' to Plastic

15 -year-old Rimsha from SMB Fatima Jinnah also addressed the gathering, calling attention to the fact that people are no longer able to breathe fresh air.
More than 5,000 events were planned worldwide for what was one of the largest-ever collective calls to action in a movement fuelled by social media under the hashtag #climatestrike.
Don't Trash Earth

In New York, 1.1 million students in around 1,800 public schools were permitted to skip school.
Dubbed the "Fridays for Future" movement, the campaign wants children around the world to take a more active role in persuading adults to treat climate change more seriously.

They are demanding politicians and businesses take the drastic action needed to stop global warming, which scientists warn will lead to environmental catastrophe under current trends.
