The demonstration took place on the eve of Climate Week NYC, the world's largest climate event, which runs September 21-28 across all five boroughs of New York City. The timing of these protests underscores growing tensions between grassroots climate activism and institutional climate discussions...Activists are demanding more aggressive action from those with the greatest economic and political power.

Taking place from September 21 to 28, Climate Week brings together voices from across the globe-spanning civil society, academia, industry and government-to ignite conversations around potential climate solutions and accelerate momentum toward a just and sustainable future.
