As part of the International Climate Action Day, a climate train is crossing the Netherlands to visit seven cities where demonstrations are being held near train stations.

 

The train's last stop will be in Utrecht, which is staging a festival in the city centre. The programme features politics, music and other entertainment. On Saturday evening the train will leave for the climate summit in Copenhagen. The passengers include Environment Minister Jacqueline Cramer. Events are being held in nearly 100 countries, including Denmark. Over 10,000 people are expected to attend a rally in Copenhagen.
