Environmentalists at Norvergence believe that the different ways in which today’s generation especially children are raising their voice against injustice or climate change, it seems the future of this planet is in safe hands.
September 20, 2019, millions of people have come out in large numbers to protest against climate change demanding urgent action. The global movement led by the Swedish school striker, “Greta Thunberg” has now taken the shape of a massive revolt.
Greta herself tweeted about the enthusiasm that people showed up in favor of the environment.
“New York City is looking huge! Lower Manhattan is packed with people. It will take ages for everyone to get to Battery Park. #ClimateStrike #FridaysForFuture”
Overall, the demonstrations were taking place across the 185 countries and Norvergence gets hope for the better future from it as the young generation is guiding all of us towards a sustainable society.
Now, Norvergence wants you to shift your focus from this towards the Syrian situation (especially in 2016).

Norvergence: Why these 2 types of Children Give us Hope for the Better Future
Both incidents are completely different. But, at the same time, both show how our children are growing up with dreams of a better and peaceful future. They want a world free of civil wars, pollution, etc.
Also, these incidents depict the amount of courage today’s generation has. They can take a stand and fight for injustice.
This attitude and behavior of youth have given an immense hope to the team Norvergence and all people out there hoping for a better future.
