'If we are to leave a habitable planet to future generations we must act now'

Pilgrims arrive at Glasgow Green to raise awareness of the climate crisis and demand a fair deal at COP26 for the Global South, as Glasgow prepares for the Cop26 summit.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said the world must act now if we are to leave a habitable planet to future generations.

Ahead of his departure for the World Leaders Summit at the start of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (Cop26) in Glasgow, the Taoiseach said he hopes the Cop26 will see a "real coming together for global action".
