Activists protest against fossil fuel industry at COP28 climate summit

Climate activists staged several small protests at COP28 on Tuesday against the presence of the oil, gas and coal industry at the U.N. climate summit and demanded an end to the use of fossil fuels, the major source cause of climate change. While past U.N. climate talks have sparked huge public protest rallies, including 2021's COP26 in Glasgow and 2015's COP21 in Paris, this year's protests have been muted in host United Arab Emirates that limits freedom of expression. The U.N. and UAE are allowing pre-approved protests to take place at the COP28 venue.
