Hundreds in Paris protest against climate inaction

Hundreds of activists gathered in front of Paris City Hall Saturday to protest against what they called climate inaction by the world's top ten polluting nations.

They displayed large banners carrying images of world leaders including the French, U.S. and Chinese presidents, alongside one reading "Climate inaction = crime against life."

The protest in the French capital was one of several demonstrations across the world marking the Global Day of Action for Climate Justice, as negotiations continue at the U.N. climate summit in Glasgow.

"Even if some ambitious commitments for the climate have been made, it is clearly not enough to tackle the climate emergency," insisted student protester Tom Jouvet.

Inside the conference venue Saturday, negotiators knuckled down for a seventh day of talks to finish draft agreements that can be passed to ministers for political approval next week.

Among the issues being haggled over at the talks by almost 200 countries are a fresh commitment to the goal of capping global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius, getting countries to review their efforts more frequently, and financial support for poor nations.
