Protesters demand faster climate action - 10th November 2021
The COP26 climate conference is in its 2nd week. And tens of thousands of climate activists and campaigners along with members of the public, are protesting in the streets of Glasgow.
They are upset at governments' slow progress to cut global warming as agreed at the United Nations climate talks.
Greta Thunberg is also upset with the slow actions of governments.
Greta Thunberg: "The COP has turned into a PR event, where leaders are giving beautiful speeches and announcing fancy commitments and targets while behind the curtains, the governments of the global north countries are still refusing to take any drastic climate action. This is no longer a climate conference. This is now a global north greenwash festival. A two-week-long celebration of business as usual and blah blah blah."
People are supporting what they believe is right. They'd like governments to act faster.
Alex Jones believes that the decisions at COP26 will affect children in the future.
Alex Jones: "Obviously, I'm here with my kids, and it's going to be their inheritance, long after I'm gone. It's going to be them to deal with the fallout of the decisions that get made at the moment, so for their sake it's really important."
Jayne Whitehead believes that governments must pass laws to encourage less CO2 emissions.
Jayne Whitehead: "So, individuals can't do that themselves, world leaders need to change the systems radically, so that we are cutting from now and not in the future, but immediately."
Globally, more protests have been planned. Protesters want to end fossil fuel use and to help people who are already feeling the effects of climate change.
Jenny Rise believes that politicians fear these protests.
Jenny Rise: "A lot of politicians are scared of the power of this movement and that we can achieve something."
