School pupils and students marched along George St in Dunedin today, as part of strike action aimed at sending a message to New Zealand politicians about the urgency of climate action.

About 1000 people crowded into the Octagon about 1pm, joining thousands across the country staging protests as part of the global Schools 4 Climate Action movement.

Pity they all didn't 'protest' when the teachers had their strike but no, they chose to play truant on this day instead.
