Thousands of people have marched through the streets of Amsterdam calling for more action to tackle climate change
Tens of thousands of people marched through the streets of Amsterdam on Sunday calling for more action to tackle climate change, in a mass protest just 10 days before a national election. Organizers claimed that 70,000 people took part in the march and called it the biggest climate protest ever in the Netherlands. Activist Greta Thunberg was among those walking through the historic heart of the Dutch capital.

While the coalition included the Fridays for Future youth movement, protesters were all ages and included a large contingent of medics in white coats carrying a banner emblazoned with the text: “Climate crisis=health crisis.” “I am a pediatrician.
