Central London and Edinburgh protests ahead of UN General Assembly
Several hundred climate activists converged in central London and Edinburgh, Scotland, where they organised colorful and noisy protests. As per organisers, these events were meant to coincide with the commencement of the UN General Assembly in New York.
Demands for immediate climate action
A protestor, Alice Brown, said, “It's (the government) just not taking the action it needs to take to start to mitigate climate crisis.
