In the days leading up to the G20, people around the world held climate change protests, calling on world leaders to end funding for coal and fossil fuels.
“A country that has private and public banks funding coal here and across the world cannot be called a climate leader.” said Takayoshi Yokoyama of 350.org, an international environmental organization, in a statement.
According to 350.org, protests were held in Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the Philippines this week.
Protesters wore masks of world leaders, including papier-mache figures of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and US President Donald Trump.
