Tens of thousands march in Glasgow for climate justice
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
MORE than 20,000 young people, trade unionists and campaigners from across the world united in protest today as the first week of Cop26 talks in Glasgow came to an end.
High-profile environmental voices, including Greta Thunberg and Vanessa Nakate, joined local striking workers as a march travelled through the city before a rally at George Square.
Led by members of the Fridays for Future movement, the event took place as politicians at the UN climate summit heard the importance of youth empowerment amid claims of exclusion from the talks and greenwashing.
