What happened

Around 10,000 people marched through central Stockholm on Sunday to demand stronger climate action, three weeks before Sweden's general election on 13 September.

Why it matters

The march began in Vasaparken, where the group Mothers Rebellion sang before Greta Thunberg addressed the crowd, and ended outside parliament at Gustav Adolfs torg.

Common ground

Protesters carried signs reading "vote for the climate" and banners from the school strike movement Thunberg founded.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
