Youth Climate Activists Mark Global Day of Climate Action
---------------------------------------------------------

Young climate activists around the world staged thousands of protests,
strikes and other actions Friday for a Global Day of Climate Action. In
Uganda, activist Vanessa Nakate, who launched the Fridays for Future
climate strike in Uganda, led a march in Kampala.

Vanessa Nakate: "This is a personal issue, because many people are
dying, many people are suffering, ecosystems are collapsing, our life
support systems are being destroyed. That is why I speak up and demand
for action, because I want to see change, because I want to have a
future."
