School Strikes 4 Climate were held in a number of big cities for the first time since September 2019.
But in Christchurch, things were heated from the off.
There was anger and frustration towards the Christchurch Mayor, Lianne Dalziel.
Protesters chanted Where s our Mayor? before she arrived.
Tensions didn t much improve by the time she did step out. It s the people who jump into the cars on their own who are really damaging our environment, and not giving us a chance to succeed, she said to the crowd.
But she was then cut off as the group started chanting over her: What do we want? Climate justice! When do we want it? Now!

Paraparaumu College’s top team plays in Kapiti Netball’s premier league.
The prospect of adult men playing against teenage girls in competitive netball on the Kāpiti Coast is causing ructions. Kāpiti Netball will allow an all men’s team to play in this season’s top premier grade, which features female teams from local clubs and secondary schools. A new age limit will be put in place for teenage boys to play in the secondary school competition, with no age restrictions for the premier team, Kāpiti Netball president Maria Bater said.
