Gen Z activists fuel Climate Express to Glasgow


By AGENCY

Visitors stand outside on the first day of the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow, Scotland, on Oct 31. COP26, running until Nov 12, will be the biggest climate conference since the 2015 Paris summit and is seen as crucial in setting worldwide emission targets to slow global warming, as well as firming up other key commitments.

One car was themed "climate reality", another "transforming society" and a third "stop talking and start doing" – welcome to the Glasgow-bound Rail to the COP.

With more than 400 young climate warriors on board, many in their mid to late teens, the 10-hour trip from Amsterdam with changeovers in Brussels and London was shot through with camaraderie, determination and anger.
