Youth climate activists gather outside Cop26 to condemn world leaders' inaction on climate crisis
Protesters move through the restricted Blue Zone area of the Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow
HUNDREDS of youth climate activists and protesters gathered outside the Cop26 conference today to condemn the inaction of world leaders in the past two weeks.
A rally, organised by the Fridays for Future (FFF) movement, saw a large contingent from groups that have consistently disrupted Cop26 events amid claims of greenwashing, including Extinction Rebellion and affiliated activists.
FFF said that with talks ongoing on Friday towards a settlement, the same men who caused the crisis are the ones now deciding our future.
