School strikes for climate, Fridays for the Future, Youth for Climate, Youth Strike 4 Climate – variations of movements<\/a> of teenagers who want to prevent climatic and environmental disasters. They organize school strikes, trying to convey the idea that knowledge makes no sense if there is no world in which they can be applied.<\/span><\/p>\n

The movement started in 2015, when an independent group of pupils and students urged students around the world to skip classes on the first day of COP 21<\/a>, the Climate Conference, which was held in Paris. Over fifty thousand students from more than a hundred countries took part in the strike on November 30. The movement had three basic requirements: the ubiquitous transition to clean energy, the non-withdrawal of minerals from the earth, the assistance to climate refugees<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2018, instead of studying, Swedish schoolgirl Greta Thunberg began a single picket in front of the Swedish parliament. She sat in silence, and next was a banner with a slogan, which later became one of the names of the activist movement – \u201cSkolstrejk f\u00f6r klimatet\u201d or \u201cSchool strikes for climate\u201d in the English version. Its main requirement for the government was a gradual decrease in the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the interview<\/a>, Greta said that the idea of \u200b\u200bstrikes for climate came to her after talking about skipping classes because of shooting in US schools. After that, the journalists had a question: can it be possible to skip classes to draw attention to climate problems? She found this idea viable, and she began to implement it. At first, no one responded to her proposal, but after a couple of days, someone kept her company, someone began to bring food to her. She attracted the attention of the media and some members of parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later, Greta still forced to return to classes. But on Fridays, she still continued to sit in front of Parliament with the same banner. The rumor about her actions went beyond Sweden. Soon, schoolchildren and students all over the world followed her example.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I do it because no one else takes it. It is my duty to do what I can,” said Greta. “If several children can get into the headlines all over the world just skipping school, just imagine what people can do if they combine their efforts”.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
