Thousands of protesters are to take to the streets of Glasgow during the COP26 conference to demand action on the climate crisis.
The Global Day of Action will see marches taking place across several cities including London and Manchester but the largest gathering is expected in Glasgow which is hosting the climate conference.
Around 200 world leaders are expected to take part in the international event at the SEC in November.
Trade unions, charities, and activists are calling on members of the public to join them at midday on November 6 to march from Kelvingrove Park to Glasgow Green.
Stuart Graham, a co-organiser of the march, said: “Glasgow has a proud history of working-class resistance.
"From the Red Clydesiders of 100 years ago, the Upper Clydeside Shipbuilders work-in of 50 years ago, to 2021’s Kenmure Street action which resisted UK Home Office dawn raids, this is a city which is not afraid to take on the establishment."
Graham, a member of Glasgow Trade Union Congress, added: "This November, climate activists will stand shoulder to shoulder with trade unionists, community groups, anti-poverty and anti-racist campaigners and the rest of civil society to demand climate justice.”
"This conference is happening at a crucial moment in history. Across the world and across movements, we are seeing a new wave of resistance, global solidarity, and grassroots organising.
"This November, we will take responsibility for our collective wellbeing by putting in place COVID-19 precautions so we can safely take to the streets and demand real action on climate change be taken at COP26.
"This is a unique opportunity to rewire our system as we recover from the pandemic.
"We can either intensify the crisis to the point of no return or lay the foundations for a just world where everyone’s needs are met.”
