Police estimated the turnout at 45,000, while organisers put the figure at 60,000. Among the banners and placards, protesters carried a giant inflatable screaming globe to give the Earth a human voice and demand urgent climate action.
Organised by the Climate Coalition and other environmental groups, the march ended near the EU institutions. Demonstrators called for an end to fossil-fuel subsidies, higher taxes on the industry, and a fair transition to cleaner energy.
