UK climate activists urge action ahead of COP26

One hundred climate activists stood together to represent the number of days left until world leaders meet, stressing that time was ticking to curb the effects of climate change.

The protesters called on Britain's leaders to do more and set the path for other super powers to reduce emissions.

Some held placards with images of Prime Minister Boris Johnson and finance minister Rishi Sunak, accusing them of being "missing in action" over climate policy.

John Sauvin, the executive director of Greenpeace, said the British government must implement policies to prove a zero-carbon economy can work to encourage rapidly developing economies like China and India to follow suit.
