Various activities have been planned planned to support the Global Climate Strike, he added.
It might be recalled that the FFF movement began in August 2018, after 15-year-old Greta Thunberg sat in front of the Swedish parliament on every school day for three weeks, to protest against the lack of action on the climate crisis.
She posted what she was doing on Instagram and Twitter and it soon went viral. On September 8, 2018, she decided to continue striking every Friday until the Swedish policies provided a safe pathway to keep global warming well under two-degree C, i.e. in line with the Paris agreement.
The hashtags FFF and “ Climate strike” spread and many students and adults began to protest outside of their parliaments and local city halls all over the world.
