ACTIVISTS today welcomed a decision by Glasgow City Council to ban big polluters from using public venues during the UN Cop26 climate conference in the city this November.
The motion, passed unanimously at a full council meeting, is believed to be the first of its kind.
It mandates Glasgow City Council to take steps to ensure that venues and community spaces either owned or operated by the council are not used for the benefit of those who deny, ignore or wilfully contribute to catastrophic climate change.
