On the frontline with the UK’s student climate strikers
- Text by Huck
It’s been just over a year since the first UK school strike for climate. The demonstrations, which occur once a month, see thousands of students walk out of classes to protest government inaction over global warming.
In a new film for Huck, we catch up with the strikers – including Cyrus Jarvis, one of the organisers of UK student Climate Network – on February 14, the anniversary of their first action. Following them around the streets of London, we find out their plans for the future, and how they plan to keep up the momentum in the months ahead.
