Global climate justice carnival hits Lima COP20

Local communities and environmental activities from diverse countries and cultures took to the streets of Lima to demand climate justice from world leaders gathered for the United Nations climate change talks in Peru.

The People's Climate March recorded the biggest crowd in Central Lima in recent times – an estimated 15,000 participants.

As the climate negotiations peak, the marchers on the Global Day of Action are calling for real action from ministers of states attending the conference. Most of them are demanding a shift to 100 per cent clean energy by 2050.

The march follows the delivery of a 2.2 million person petition by 100 children to UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, Peruvian President Ollanta Humala and COP President Manuel Pulgar Vidal at the UN climate talks in Lima.


Kofi Adu Domfeh filed this report from Peru.
