Environmentalists Gather For 'Climate Strike' In London As 'Global Week For Future' Begins

Demonstrators chant and shout on Abingdon Street outside the Houses of Parliament as environmentalists tens of thousands strong take part in the first day of a week of worldwide 'climate strikes', part of the youth-led 'Fridays for Future' movement begun by Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg, in London, England, on September 20, 2019. Organisers say they expect more than 2,400 such demonstrations to be held from today until September 27 in what is being billed as a 'Global Week For Future'. It is a week that also sees the first ever UN Youth Climate Summit, taking place tomorrow, as well as the UN's Climate Action Summit, on Monday, both in New York. (Photo by David Cliff/NurPhoto)
