Thousands of people took to the streets in Stockholm, Sweden, this weekend. They were there to demand that the government do more to fight climate change.
The protests come at a very important time. Sweden is holding a general election in just a few weeks. By marching now, the protesters are trying to make sure that the environment stays a top priority for the people running for office.
While different news outlets are reporting slightly different numbers, it is clear that the crowd was very large. Some reports say thousands were involved, while others suggest the group was as large as 50,000 people.
People of all ages showed up to show they are worried about the future of the planet. They want to see the next government create tougher rules to help the environment.
Sweden is known for being a leader in climate efforts, but these protesters feel the country still isn't doing enough to stop global warming. The rally was peaceful but loud, sending a clear message to politicians that voters are watching what they do next.
