"We know we're in good hands with this younger generation". Thank you @KTrebeck for this passionate message in support of the strikes.

Not a fully fledged academic any more, but fully behind the #ClimateStrike. #Academics4ClimateStrikes

Maybe this is the time for humans to learn from the birds? Thank you @JRAO_Founder for this beautiful analogy.

@StephenWoroniec @ClimateEmpower My video for climate strikers!

Fantastic to see so many #Academics4ClimateStrikes showing their support for #FridaysForFuture with wonderful video messages. The global strikes today were incredibly inspiring & powerful. And with many more strikes to come, please keep this wave of support going & growing!

Simon Szreter, professor in history and public policy at University of Cambridge, sent us this video in support of #FridaysforFuture last night for sharing on #Academics4ClimateStrikes. “History confirms that there is no greater problem.” Thanks for your encouraging words, Simon.

As academics, we have the responsibility of not just supporting these strikes but also actively campaigning for breaking the shackles of #systemic politics.

Tomorrow, I will be with colleagues from @Leuphana_Uni @FakultaetN to support the school students @LuneburgF . As sustainability scientists, we hear and support their message @sciforfuture #FridaysForFuture #Academics4ClimateStrikes

I stand with the school strikers worldwide this Friday 15th March #Academics4ClimateStrikes #Fridays4Future #YouthForClimate

[Natasha Reynolds @Tash_Reynolds]

Kudos to all the young people out for #SchoolStrike4Climate today. May this help you find your voice - you have every right to speak up, and loudly. Will be joining you for a while later today in Bordeaux. #Academics4ClimateStrikes

[Stefan Partelow @SBPartelow]

Inspiring me to rethink how I can do more individually and through my work. Knowledge-action gaps are real. #FridaysForFuture #Academics4ClimateStrikes #SchoolsStrike4Climate

[Bram Büscher @brambuscher]

I stand with the school strikers worldwide this Friday 15th March - they are a huge inspiration for how we should think about politicising and transforming conservation and our way of life generally #Academics4ClimateStrikes #Fridays4Future #YouthForClimate #convivialconservation

[Lina Brand Correa @librand3]

Long video, but shows the approximate 1000 concerned students in Leeds today. Time to listen!!! #Academics4ClimateStrikes #FridaysForFuture

Three things:
1) We've failed you and we're sorry
2) You will need all your education to stop the destruction
3) We've been waiting for leaders and in you we've found them. We support you.

[Simon Dixon @Simon_C_Dixon]

Here’s why I support the climate strikes and have joined thousands of young people in Innsbruck today to demand urgent action on climate change. #GlobalStrike4Climate #Academics4ClimateStrikes
