As the climate negotiations peak, the marchers on the Global Day of Action are calling for real action from ministers of states attending the conference.
The march follows the delivery of a 2.2 million person petition by 100 children to UN Secretary
General Ban Ki Moon, Peruvian President Ollanta Humala and COP President Manuel
Pulgar Vidal at the UN climate talks in Lima.
