On 24 October, people in 181 countries came together for the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet's history. At over 5200 events around the world, people gathered to call for strong action and bold leadership on the climate crisis. At one point on Sunday Oct 25, 350 was the top story (simultaneously) on CNN, The New York Times, Le Monde, Google News, and on and on all around the world.
