Global climate march 2015: hundreds of thousands march around the world – as it happened

The Guardian’s Nabeelah Shabbir is near the front of the London march, near musician Charlotte Church. Here are some of her photos of a ‘die-in’ over the impacts of climate change on the developing world.

Here’s a short film from our video team of the marches, including the shoes in Paris.

Organisers are saying that around 20,000 people marched in the Spanish capital.

The future of the world may be decided inside a dozen or more vast, anonymous, rigid white structures on the edge of Paris. The convention centre at Le Bourget airport has been officially declared UN property for the duration of the meeting.

It boasts a mini Eiffel tower constructed of red chairs, the main street is lined with 30 or more plastic animals and the 195 countries’ offices are empty and little is expected to happen until tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile Paris city centre is almost empty of traffic and all public transport has been made free for two days to discourage cars and allow nearly 150 world leaders to whizz around unhindered between bilateral meetings in five star hotels and embassies.

And in the meantime, here some are some photos from James Randerson and Emma Howard on marchers who are staying sunny despite the diabolical weather:

More soon from Paris, where Karl Mathiesen is among those caught up in the teargas used by police after people with an apparently anti-capatalist agenda clashed with police.

From Geneva and Barcelona to Paris and Lyon, and Laikipia in Kenya, here are some of your march photos:

Caroline Lucas, Green party MP, told crowds in London:

To change everything we need everyone. That’s why people are gathering in cities around this country and the world. We are already so far ahead of the governments and the private corporations who block us....We already know that what’s on offer in Paris is nowhere near enough.we know that business as usual will take us towards a world of 4C warming....that is a future of droughts desertification and disease. We refuse to leave our future in the hands of those inside the secure zone in a conference centre in Paris... We already know what needs to be done. We need a massive investment in renewable energy and efficiency to create hundreds of thousands of jobs...we need to be serious about agriculture because meat production creates more emissions than all the card and trains and planes out together.

Special shout out to divestment campaign who with all their inspiration have showed us the way

David Cameron is taking a wreaking ball to environmental policy....We are here to say the fight against fracking and nuclear is only just beginning.

Here’s some video of Corbyn’s speech, via James Randerson. Apologies for it being split into four parts:

Corbyn: make world leaders act at Paris

James Randerson

Corbyn, standing atop a fire engine in London next to shadow chancellor John McDonnell, tells his audience to send a message to the more than 147 world leaders expected to attend the Paris climate talks:

Those who are sitting around the tables in Paris have an enormous opportunity in front of them. Do not let them flake it or fool us. Make them understand that if we are to bequeath to future generations a world of flooding, a world of environmental disaster, a world where our children will not be able to live or eat properly, then they will do nothing and allow the pollution of this planet to continue. If however, they listen to the words of millions all around the world: it is possible to reduce the level of emissions, it is possible to slow the rate of temperature change, it is possible to protect large parts fo the environment of this planet, then they will have done something useful. Our message today is to them: do what you are sent there to do.

Videos to come shortly.
