(2 Dec 2019) Climate activists protested outside the venue of the COP25 climate change meeting in Madrid on Monday.
Eight-year old Licypriya Kangujam, who is from India, was at the protest with her father, and called on her country's prime minister and lawmakers to legislate for climate change action as soon as possible.
The two week climate summit aims to put the finishing touches to the rules governing the 2015 Paris climate change accord.
Organisers expect around 29,000 visitors to the meeting, including around 50 heads of state and government who attended Monday's opening session.
Except for the European Union's newly sworn-in leadership, the rest of the world's largest carbon emitters - India, the United States and China - are sending ministerial or lower-level officials to the meeting.
UN chief Antonio Guterres says the world has a choice to tackle climate change or surrender, asking countries to decide whether they "really want to be remembered as the generation that buried its head in the sand, that fiddled while the planet burned?"
