Activists protest at start of Paris climate summit

(12 Dec 2017) Activists put on a performance that symbolised a massive wave of oil on Tuesday, in a protest at the start of an international climate summit in Paris. A few hundred protesters demonstrated in front of the domed Pantheon monument on Paris' Left Bank as hundreds of world leaders, financiers and others gathered across town for the summit. The protesters unfurled a massive sheet and carried a huge banner reading "Not one more euro for energies of the past." CEOs of banks and energy companies are joining more than 50 heads of state at the summit, which is aimed in part at speeding up investment in energy that doesn't damage the climate. French President Emmanuel Macron hosted leading world philanthropists Tuesday morning to encourage more climate related investment.
