Pupils from several schools in main centres around the Otago region are marching today over climate change. Over 1000 Dunedin school pupils are calling for action to stop climate change before it is too late. School pupils and members of the public in Wanaka, Queenstown, Invercargill and Cromwell were also marching today. Thousands more Kiwi pupils have today swapped pens for placards as they march the streets for action on climate change.
