Some protesters lay down for a 'die-in' to show 'humans will not survive if nothing is done about climate change'.
Demonstrators also took part in a "die-in" in London on Saturday
Along with Extinction Rebellion members, activists from more than 200 organisations, trade unions and charities also took part in the demonstration. Another demonstrator, who is a retired nurse, added that "a lot of health professionals that are working now are seeing more and more the impacts of climate change on people's health, the air quality, the heat".
Rob Callender, action co-ordinator from Extinction Rebellion, explained the group was adopting a new peaceful approach after hearing from the public that disruption "is a barrier".
