Environment activists staged a protest in the harbour of the coastal city of Falmouth in England to highlight the lack of climate change action from world leaders attending the Group of Seven summit in Cornwall.

Campaigners accused the G-7 governments of spending money on conferences and summits, but not doing enough to protect the environment, and in particular the oceans.

The activists projected their slogans on the bow of the "Silja Europa" ship, a cruise ferry currently docked in Falmouth port and hosting about 1,000 police officers tasked with the summit security.

The boat sailed from Estonia to Cornwall for that purpose.
