Berlin CNN —My 12-year-old son is cutting school on September 15 — an act of non-violent civil disobedience that his mother and I approve of entirely. Then-15-year-old Swedish student Greta Thunberg leads a school strike in Stockholm, 2018. Irish schools students demand immediate action on climate change during the "Global School Strike for Climate Action" march from St Stephen's Green to Leinster House in 2019. An array of climate activist groups surged in the slipstream of the global climate strikes, and now campaign on their own and together with it.
