"In one of the largest youth-led demonstrations in history, millions of people from Manhattan to Mumbai took to the streets around the globe on Friday, their chants, speeches and homemade signs delivering the same stern message to world leaders: do more to combat climate change — and do it faster.

“Oceans are rising and so are we,” read the sign that 13-year-old Martha Lickman carried through London.
