Amsterdam’s First National Climate Change March Draws 40,000 People

Tens of thousands of people joined a climate change protest in Amsterdam on Sunday, urging the Dutch government to take action on climate change.

The demonstration, the first of its kind in the Netherlands, drew around 40,000 people despite heavy rain, according to Agence France-Presse.

"The high turnout is the proof that people now want a decisive policy on climate from the government," Greenpeace, one of the march organizers, said in a statement.
