Fridays for Future, once a powerful force in climate activism, is facing dwindling participation in its global climate strikes.

Recent demonstrations across Germany, including major cities like Berlin and Hamburg, saw fewer attendees than expected.

In Berlin, thousands gathered, but numbers fell short of the anticipated 5,000. Similarly, Hamburg's turnout was lower than the projected 18,000, with only about 9,000 participants.

The movement aims to refocus political attention on climate issues, amidst distractions from other crises like immigration.

Despite the reduced numbers, activists remain committed, emphasizing the urgency of climate action.

They argue that mass protests are crucial for driving change, even as public interest appears to wane.

Fridays for Future continues to advocate for policies like car-free city centers and expanded public transport, urging the government to prioritize climate over military spending.
