Hundreds of activists from the climate change activist group, Extinction Rebellion, gathered outside key government departments in Westminster, UK on 21st April, 2023 to demand urgent action on the climate crisis.

According to a video footage captured by @nickdunni, the protesters held placards with messages regarding climate change as they chanted slogans demanding immediate action from the government.

The protest comes as the world continues to grapple with the devastating effects of climate change, including rising sea levels, more frequent and intense weather events, and the loss of biodiversity. Scientists have warned that urgent action is needed to prevent catastrophic and irreversible damage to the planet.

The UK government has recently announced several initiatives aimed at tackling the climate crisis, including a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 and a commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. However, activists argue that more needs to be done, and that the government's actions do not go far enough. Credit to: @nickdunni
