Pupils have been making a stand in Belfast, ensuring their voices are heard for action on climate change.
They joined students in more than 120 countries who walked out of classrooms today (Friday) to call for action on climate change.
The protest, the largest of its kind to be held, comes after months of growing demonstrations demanding reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
In Belfast, pupils were in Cornmarket with placards.
We wish our parents & pupils the best of luck tomorrow as they take part in the school strike for ‘Climate Change’ in Belfast! They are making a very powerful statement to all of us that change is necessary! @KeepNIBeautiful @Eco_SchoolsNI @Strike4Youth @ColeraineChron pic.twitter.com/wkpo3L9ejZ
