The Swedish activist's arrival in Scotland comes after she revealed she had not been 'officially' invited to the key climate summit.
She was mobbed by fellow activists at the protest outside the Standard Chartered headquarters, as thousands of people attended Day of Action protests across 26 countries against the financing of fossil fuel projects.She said that the UK, like many other countries, engages in what she called"creative carbon accounting", where emissions from exported fossil fuels or international shipping and aviation are not currently counted.
But a government spokesperson said:"Given the UK has cut emissions faster than any other major economy over the past three decades, and that we are the first country to legislate to reach net zero by 2050, we stand by our assertion that we are leading the way in the fight against climate change."
