INDIGENOUS activists led tens of thousands of protesters through the streets of Glasgow on Saturday, alongside millions across the world to demand real action to tackle the climate crisis. 

The Cop26 Coalition said that the rally was aimed at raising the voices of those “sidelined” at the climate conference, including indigenous, marginalised and front-line communities.

Organisers said that about 500,000 people took part in protests across Britain on Saturday, with 100,000 braving the wind and rain in Glasgow.
