Climate change: Teenage environmentalists protest in Paris

Climate change: Teenage environmentalists protest in Paris

A Swedish schoolgirl has taken her environmental fight to France.

Sixteen-year-old Greta Thunberg is spearheading student strikes against inaction on global warming.

She joined hundreds of others at a protest in Paris.

Al Jazeera's David Chater reports from Paris.
