They're urging political and business leaders

to discourage new fossil fuel investments

“It's a very exclusive elite that is gathering here, still talking about how to create economic growth and how to make more money, and in the same process, save the climate, whereas climate needs to be a priority at this time.”

Some activists blocked an airport for private jets

as part of a campaign to hold the wealthy

accountable for climate damage

the 1,500 business figures in attendance
