The Climate March was held in Madrid in connection with the international climate conference COP25. It was attended by Swedish teen eco-activist Greta Thunberg and representatives of environmental organisations Greenpeace, Alliance for Climate, 2020 Rise For Climate, and Fridays For Future.
"Today we are talking about a march for climate # 6DPorElClima, in which more than 500,000 people took to the streets", Ecologists in Action wrote on Twitter.
