From Europe to Africa to South-East Asia, tens of thousands of climate activists launched protests Friday to call for an end to the burning of planet-warming fossil fuels as the globe suffers dramatic weather extremes and record-breaking heat, with plans to continue through the weekend.
The protests - driven by several mostly youth-led, local and global climate groups and organizations, including Greta Thunberg's Fridays for Future movement - were taking place in dozens of countries and hundreds of cities worldwide.
