- 8 years ago
Footage from yesterday's climate change march in London, UK, where thousands took to the streets ahead of this week' UN Climate Summit in Paris.
Demonstrations took place in cities around the world as the conference, known as COP21, was set to get underway.
From today, world leaders will be trying to pen a long-term deal that will see carbon emissions curbed across the globe.
Nearly 150 senior government figures and heads-of-state are attending the summit, which is far more than in 2009 when the UN last tried to force through a deal on climate change in Copenhagen.
The global business community are also heavily represented at the summit, far more so than ever before.
