02:14On the last day of COP15, a few hundred environmental activists took to the streets of Montreal to show their disappointment with the new agreement achieved at the conference on Monday.
The protesters accused the last-hour accord of being insufficient to protect the environment and biodiversity as a whole.
The small crowd of people rallied through the icy streets of the Canadian metropolis, demanding all governments take a radical step to save the planet and all living beings before it’s too late.
“Beyond the pretty words and the handshakes that for 30 years of COP on biodiversity have not materialised in actions, it is to the emergency of a radical shift in paradigm that we are confronted," said an activist, with another adding, "Do not ask us to rejoice for a COP that doesn’t make the elimination of plastic a strong target."
Early on Monday, as many as 200 countries agreed on a landmark deal to protect the world’s land and oceans and provide finance to prevent biodiversity loss in the developing world.
