Protesters against climate change

CAMPAIGNERS from across the world have demanded a law to protect the planet from ecocide.

The need for such legislation was discussed by legal experts today as the second week of the Cop26 climate conference continued in Glasgow.

The event at the Green Party Hub, chaired by Green peer Natalie Bennett, heard calls for the passage of laws at the British, EU and international level to prevent corporations and governments causing further damage to the global environment.
