Fridays for Future is mobilizing for a global climate strike this Friday, with demonstrations planned in over 100 locations across Germany.

The movement is urging a swift transition away from coal, oil, and gas, and an end to investments in fossil fuels.

The initiative, under the banner #NowForFuture, is supported by organizations like Greenpeace and WWF.

In Hamburg, organizers expect around 18,000 participants, a significant increase from previous events.

The global strike will also see actions in places as diverse as the Arctic, Egypt, and Bangladesh, highlighting the worldwide call for urgent climate action.
