On November 6th as world leaders meet in Glasgow for the COP26 Climate Summit, people across the country will take to the streets demanding global climate justice in conjunction with Global Action Day.

The first Global Action Day in conjunction with the UNFCCC was in 2005 in response to the Kyoto Protocol.

Glasgow is currently the hub for discussions on actionable change on climate, and is hosting one of the biggest peaceful protests on Saturday.

However, there are peaceful protests happening across the country. Surfers Against Sewage has arranged meeting points for peaceful protests in over 20 places across the UK.

If you want to take part, Surfers Against Sewage has arranged a meeting point at Millennium Point at 12pm.
