Tens of thousands of protesters in New York, US, have kicked off a week where leaders will try once again to curb climate change.

The March to End Fossil Fuels featured politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and actors like Susan Sarandon and Ethan Hawke.

But the real action on Broadway happened when an estimated 75,000 people crowded the street, protesting energy policies and the use of fossil fuels.

It served as the opening act to New York’s Climate Week, and comes just ahead of Wednesday’s United Nations summit on climate change.
