'I feel empowered and scared': pupils speak before climate strike

We asked children around the world to tell us why they will be taking part in Friday's climate strikes. Here's what they said

I'm taking part on Friday because adults, and especially politicians, have not done enough to save our future. We have to get them to listen to us and believe what scientists have to say. I'm participating in a strike located in Tampere. We will get together on Sori Square (Sorin Aukio) and march to the central marketplace (Keskustori). I think the earth needs this climate strike movement. And we need it too, because it's our future that is in danger. I'm so happy to see the youth rise and demand back a planet where we can live.
