Today many rangatahi and climate justice advocates are taking the streets to start a global climate strike calling for more urgent action to curb climate change.
There are at least 10 events taking place nationwide, with 10s-of-thousands expected to march.
The event in Taranaki is taking place right now.
Climate Justice Taranaki member, Tuhi Ao Bailey, is one of the organisers and she spoke to Māni Dunlop.
