02:39Activists from NGO Oxfam staged a protest in Glasgow's Royal Exchange Square masked as world leaders trying to extinguish props of burning Earth on Friday, the last day of the climate summit COP26.
The activists wore firefighter outfits with caricatured masks of US President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, among others, trying to put out a fire beneath a model of the planet Earth with miniature buckets and extinguishers.
"Here in Glasgow, we are seeing how leaders of the world, leaders of the richest, most polluting nations are infective firefighters. They are not doing enough to put the world on a safer path. They haven't brought the right hose. This is not a drill. Poor countries, vulnerable countries, have sounded the alarm on how poverty, devastation, destruction, death is being caused by climate change, but world leaders are failing. We need to see action," said Oxfam International representative Navkota Edabe.
Oxfam, the British founded NGO, published a reaction to the COP26 draft text on their website, stating that it 'failed to respond to the current climate emergency.'
