An international day of action on climate change brought hundreds of thousands of people onto the streets of New York City on Sunday, 21 September, easily exceeding organizers’ hopes for the largest protest on the issue in history.

9月21日星期日，氣候變遷國際行動日將數十萬人帶上紐約市街道，輕鬆地超過主辦單位對這項史上就該議題的最大抗議活動之期待。

Organizers estimated that some 310,000 people, including United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and actor Leonardo DiCaprio joined the People’s Climate March, ahead of Tuesday’s United Nations hosted summit in the city to discuss reducing carbon emissions that threaten the environment.

The New York rally followed similar events in 166 countries including Britain, France, Afghanistan and Bulgaria. Organizers said another 270,000 people had participated in related events outside New York.
