Thousands of people have gathered for protests in more than 180 countries, calling for international action to curb the emissions causing global warming.
The International Day of Climate Action focused on the number 350, referring to 350 parts per million (ppm) of CO2 in the atmosphere which some scientists say must not be exceeded to avoid runaway global warming.
The thousands of small-scale events, staged 50 days before a UN summit on climate change, began with a gathering on the steps on the Sydney Opera House, before spreading across the globe.
