Four million. That\u2019s how many of you turned out last Friday to stand up for our planet and all the lifeforms who call it home. <\/span><\/p>\n\n

It was the biggest climate protest the world has ever seen. And it was truly global; from Jakarta to Johannesburg, Bogot\u00e1 to Berlin, Wolverhampton to Washington DC – it even reached <\/span>Antarctica<\/span><\/a>. One 15 year-old\u2019s simple act of courage last year launched a movement big enough to get the world\u2019s attention. <\/span><\/p>\n\n
