The battle to protect the earth's deteriorating climate continues in Glasgow, Scotland.
At the 2021 global climate summit, the world's leaders are discussing the best possible way to reach the goal of this year's conference -- net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The 26th 'Conference of the Parties' represents a gathering of the countries who have signed the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Climate Agreement.
Day Seven of the 2021 climate summit focuses on Nature.
Even as the countries continue their discussions within the summit, tens of thousands of climate change activists attempt to hold the governments to account by marching through the streets of Glasgow.
Here's what the activists did on November 6, the Global Day of Action for Climate Justice.
