Thousands of students gathered at Wellington's Civic Square this morning before marching to Parliament, demanding more urgent action on climate change.
Held for the first time since 2019, the protest is part of a nationwide movement of school students called School Strike 4 Climate.
Wellington protest organiser Seren Lewis said there had been a lot of build-up to this strike, especially as last year's could not go ahead due to Covid-19 restrictions.
