More than 300,000 people flocked to New York on Sunday to join the People’s Climate March, billed as the largest climate march in history. The rally wove its way through midtown Manhattan as a call to action for leaders to curb carbon emissions and to protest stalled action on a climate treaty. Two days after the march, world leaders will meet at the United Nations in a summit to come up with a global framework for how to combat the climate crisis.
