About #FridaysForFuture
#FridaysForFuture is a movement that began in August 2018, after 15 years old Greta Thunberg sat in front of the Swedish parliament every schoolday for three weeks, to protest against the lack of action on the climate crisis. She posted what she was doing on Instagram and Twitter and it soon went viral.
On the 8th of September, Greta decided to continue striking every Friday until the Swedish policies provided a safe pathway well under 2-degree C, i.e. in line with the Paris agreement.
The hashtags #FridaysForFuture and #Climatestrike spread and many students and adults began to protest outside of their parliaments and local city halls all over the world. This has also inspired the Belgium Thursday school strikes.

Strike numbers grow as we approach the date and even after the date.
An example, from the global strike on March 15:
359 events had registered a week before the strike. A week later, on the day,
2700 events had registered.
Solution to the climate crisis
We profoundly appreciate all efforts to find solutions to the climate crisis.
Fridays for Future does not have the capacity or the competence to evaluate solutions. If you have a solution, we therefore urge you to send your contribution to those who do, so that it can be put to use.
Map updates
Normally, the map is updated every 24 hours. From midnight CET/CEST. During Global strikes this is changed to every six hours.
It may take a few days for new strikes to appear on the map and for changes in map data to appear.
If you wish to change the data for your strike, the easiest way is to register again, using as similar data as previously, and it should overwrite.
