Hundreds of French students have taken to the streets of Paris to call for more action to fight climate change.
The move came a day after a similar march in Brussels.
Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish schoolgirl who is being hailed as her generation’s voice on climate change, joined the Paris march on Friday.
Young protesters marched in a carnival atmosphere, chanting slogans against global warming.
Activist Morgane De Walst, 21, said: “We defend our world, we defend our future and the system and the world we would like to live in.”
Thomas Mulliez, 22, added: “We continue polluting, big companies discharge junk in our atmosphere, and we are aware of the Arctic melt … So something must be done.”
