@BiddyPop

And this is a climate change conference, where we must all make sacrifices to prevent the planet being destroyed...but many of the world leaders attending came straight from the G20 meeting in Rome last weekend, so surely sharing transport would make sense when all going from 1 major city to another?

No, they all flew their own jets, not even commercial flights, with many having full sized jets (and a number of delegations had multiple large-body planes), and yesterday there were the photos of all the limousines waiting outside the venue with their engines running for hours on end...

What a joke.

Or they could have stayed in Rome. One venue, one meeting or is that not sensible?

I'm surprised as I thought the conference was at the hydro/Armadillo which are wheelchair accessible

I'm totally shocked that locals have been prevented from getting into their own flats, carers being denied access to clients and women being to take a long detour through a dark park.
