On a day that has seen what could be the largest climate protest across the globe in history, thousands of students marched from Dublin's Custom House for today's to Merrion Square, in front of Government Buildings where a rally was held. Other protests took place in Cork, Galway Limerick and Belfast and other Irish towns.
Here are some of the best signs from the #climatestrike protests, and if you are reading on The Irish Times app, you can see them here.

Climate change and degradation & loss of nature are two sides of the same coin - protecting biodiversity has climate benefits.

System change, not climate change. Irish students strike for climate justice- and a future that honours the emancipatory courage and care of the young people leading this movement. #ClimateStrike #ClimateAction #schoolstrike4climate pic.twitter.com/CxGZBUKPoL
