As COP26 kicked off in Glasgow, protests also took place in Glasgow on Monday November 1. The Scottish capital has hosted climate activists who want to pressure leaders, and demand concrete action. “What we want is [qu’ils] get together, be in the same room, look each other in the eye and keep their promises. It is a critical moment in the history of our planet “, details Danny Sriskandarajah, CEO of Oxfam Great Britain.
The protesters are asking for more political will. Young people are very involved in these issues. A train came from Amsterdam with 400 of them. Iconic figure Greta Thunberg was also present in Glasgow, with a message: “over the blah!” His online petition has already garnered more than a million signatures. On Friday, protest organizers hope to bring together up to 100,000 people.
