"We have had enough of world leaders sitting and talking whilst the world burns around them, with Covid-19 and climate impacts continuing to wreak havoc," said one campaigner.

"This might be a political show for Biden," said the Sunrise Movement, "but for us it's a fight for our lives and for the communities we love and care about."
