We must save our planet. There is only beer there

was written on one of the posters at the head of the parade led by a brass band.

But the message of the Great Climate March was serious: act now to stop the world from self-destruction.

Activists of the Climate Coalition called on politicians to take more stringent measures to counteract global warming.

Luc Durnez, one man who was at the march, complained that the Belgian government went to the climate summit "without a plan, and it's really a shame for us."

In Dubai, United Arab Emirates, countries promised measures to to cut global greenhouse gas emissions by almost half in seven years to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) compared to pre-industrial times. But the marchers in Brussels complained, that Europe is not doing enough or fast enough.
