Hundreds of school strikers have marched through Edinburgh to demand the Scottish Government does more to clamp down on harmful emissions and acts against climate change.
They joined striking pupils across the country and the rest of the world in the first major demonstration since the Cop26 climate conference in Glasgow last year.
Maria Warmerdam, 14, from Edinburgh’s branch of Fridays for Future, said missing school is “the only way we young people can have our voices heard – and it’s the only way we won’t be ignored”.
The Scottish strikes – also held in Glasgow, Dumfries, Falkirk, Inverness, Stirling and Ullapool – were among more than 700 protests worldwide as part of the Fridays For Future movement. It became a global phenomenon when Greta Thunberg refused to go to school in August 2019.
