CLIMATE campaigners have unveiled plans to mobilise more than two million activists next year for acts of civil disobedience following the failure of the Cop26 summit in Glasgow earlier this month.

Extinction Rebellion (XR) vowed today to begin a major campaign of civil resistance in April, following on from large-scale protests before the coronavirus pandemic.

XR said that world leaders had failed to heed the pleas of experts at Cop26, with United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change executive secretary Patricia Espinosa warning that Cop26 leaves the human race continuing to “invest in our own extinction.”
