TL;DR Summary

Thousands of climate activists are expected to march in New York City to demand that President Biden take immediate action to end fossil fuel usage. Protesters are calling for an end to federal approvals of new fossil fuel projects, a phase-out of oil and gas drilling on public lands, and a declaration of climate change as a national emergency. They are also urging the U.S. to halt oil and gas exports and transition to renewable energy sources. The march comes ahead of a "Climate Ambition Summit" hosted by the U.N. Secretary General, where world leaders will be pressured to commit to more rapid emissions cuts. Activists hope the summit will highlight the role of fossil fuels in exacerbating climate change.
