Young activists marched alongside the River Clyde and convened in Glasgow's Festival Park, while other protesters marched through subways and stood outside JP Morgan offices in town, demanding the bank stop investing in the fossil fuel industry.

Inside the summit, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres addressed world leaders on the first day of the 26th annual conference and appeared to agree with what many of the protesters have long said: Current commitments are not enough to turn around the climate crisis and leaders have to be more honest about it.
"Recent climate action announcements might give the impression that we are on track to turn things around. This is an illusion," Guterres said. "So, as we open this much anticipated climate conference, we are still heading for climate disaster. Young people know it. Every country sees it. Small Island Developing States — and other vulnerable ones — live it. For them, failure is not an option. Failure is a death sentence."
