They say their governments have failed future generations by not cutting emissions and curbing global warming.Protests have already started in Wellington, New Zealand, where students have clearly spent time thinking of fitting slogans for their signs. One showed a picture of a bee with the words, “If I die you’re coming with me."

Anna L said she could hear chanting from her office window as dozens of students were marching down Willis Street into Lambton Quay. “Most of New Zealand support the students with the climate change march, whatever side of the political spectrum they’re on. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen school students in New Zealand march in protest en masse!” she told CNN via Twitter.Asia is going big on the climate strikeAsia is going BIG on the Global Climate Strike today.
