Week of protests kicks off ahead of UN summit

Architects around the country are taking part in today’s climate strike protest in a bid to force politicians to take the environmental crisis seriously.

Millions of people in 150 countries were predicted to be joining in with today’s protest which comes three days before a UN emergency summit in New York.

It is the start of a week of high-profile action in which adults are joining the children who have been holding school strikes every Friday since young Swedish activist Greta Thunberg started the movement last year.

Architects were set to show their support in a variety of ways such as joining one of the 150 protests around Britain – including strikes in Westminster and at Hackney Town Hall and from Brighton to Iona, Enniskillen to Hull.
