DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) -Greenpeace activists staged a brief climate change protest just outside the main hall of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting on Thursday, as business and political leaders gathered for this week's event in Davos.

Dressed in dark suits and white shirts, three protesters made it into the Congress Centre and scaled a lobby balcony before unfurling a large banner saying: "Tax the super-rich. Fund a just & green future".
