Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has joined student protests in France, as young people take to the streets to express their concerns over issues affecting their future.
Thunberg, who rose to international prominence through her climate change activism, has participated in demonstrations calling for greater attention to environmental protection and social justice. Her involvement has drawn additional attention to the student-led protests.
The demonstrations come amid growing youth activism across Europe, with students increasingly using public protests to demand action from governments on climate change, education and other social issues.
Thunberg has previously encouraged young people to mobilise and pressure political leaders to address climate change, arguing that stronger measures are needed to tackle global warming and protect future generations.
Authorities in France have been monitoring the demonstrations as student groups continue to voice their demands. The scale of the protests and the specific issues raised by participants vary across locations.
