'People's tribunal' finds world leaders guilty over climate change

CAMPAIGNERS and former Cop negotiators put the United Nations “on trial” yesterday for failing to deliver climate justice over more than two decades of organising the leaders’ conference. 

At a symbolic “People’s Tribunal,” on Sunday, the United Nations Framework of Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was found guilty of multiple climate crimes. 

The tribunal was held as part of the People’s Summit, a counter-conference running alongside the official summit in Glasgow.
