Thousands of activists rallied on the streets of Lima, Peru to voice out their demand for policymakers to do something about climate change. They want a 100 percent turnaround on the subject of renewable energy by the time 2050 hits.

Students, corporate people, farmers and even different indigenous tribes from Amazon joined the protest.

Illegal logging, gas exploitation and unregistered mining activities are among the main causes of pollution in the Amazon and Andes mountains.
