PITTSBURGH (KDKA/CBS News) — Millions of people around the world, including Pittsburgh, are expected to walk out of their schools and workplaces today to demand urgent action on climate change.

The global climate strikes, which are taking place in more than 150 countries, were scheduled ahead of the opening of the United Nations General Assembly and the Climate Action Summit on Sept. 23.

The protests have been organized by young people around the world who are part of the “Fridays for Future” campaign, which has seen students walk out of their schools on Fridays to demand their political leaders take urgent action to address climate change.
