Thousands March in Glasgow for Climate Action Ahead of COP30
15 Nov
Summary
- Largest climate march in Glasgow since COP26 four years ago
- Protesters, including children, demand action on climate crisis
- Marchers show solidarity with people of Gaza and call to stop Rosebank oil field
On November 11, 2025, thousands of people took to the streets of Glasgow to protest the ongoing climate crisis. The demonstration, which organizers say was the largest climate march in the city since the 2021 UN climate conference, saw protesters of all ages gather on Glasgow Green before marching through the city center.
The march was part of a global day of action coinciding with the upcoming COP30 conference in Brazil. Demonstrators carried banners and chanted slogans calling for a "better world" and an end to the Rosebank oil field development west of the Shetland Islands. Activists from groups like Extinction Rebellion and the Climate and Migrant Justice Organising Group joined the march, which also saw solidarity with the people of Gaza.
Speakers at the rally, including trade union and anti-poverty leaders, emphasized the need for urgent, transformative action to address the climate emergency and its connections to other global issues like inequality and human rights. They expressed hope that politicians would listen to the public's demands for change.
