The Climate Strike March will include a group of students enrolled in Mark Terry's course on Environmental Activism and members of the York University community. Explaining why he believes in participating in the event, Mark said, "The March shows solidarity with other global citizens who are demanding action to fight climate change to protect the lives of ourselves and our planet."

In addition to teaching the course, Mark's work at the Dahdaleh Institute includes leading the Youth Climate Report, which offers an interactive, geomedia platform for the global community of youth to report on climate research in their regions. The GIS map project is a partner program of the United Nations Climate Change secretariat and is used as a data delivery system for the policymakers attending the annual COP conferences
