Last week, people all over the world took part in mass rallies as part of a global climate change strike. The 20 September protests were some of the largest climate strikes in history, with millions leaving their desks to join marches across their cities.

In the UK, it was estimated that 300,000 people took part in over 200 events organised by the UK Student Climate Network, who encouraged adults to join young people in taking to the streets. Many employers will wholeheartedly support this movement, with some even choosing to close their businesses to support their workers taking action. However, with similar protests expected on 27 September, the potential immediate impact of such protests on business is increasingly likely to become an additional concern.
