COP24: Protesters demand action to check global warming

Even as activists are demanding urgent action to save the planet, delegates inside are at odds over a crucial report.

Activists have marched through the Polish city of Katowice, where a two-week United Nations climate summit – Katowice Climate Change Conference (COP24) – is under way.

The protesters are calling for more action from governments to tackle global warming.

However, attempts to incorporate a key scientific study into climate talks failed, after it was blocked by countries including the United States and Saudi Arabia.
