FREE Derry Wall has undergone a transformation to highlight the environmental emergency facing the world.
Activists from the Zero Waste North West group changed the famous 'You Are Now Entering Free Derry' slogan to 'You are now entering code red for humanity' in a bid to highlight the climate emergency faced by the world.
Known throughout the world, Free Derry Wall was created in January 1969 when a large group of people took a stand against police who were attacking homes in the city’s Bogside.
Throughout the early years of the Troubles, it was the gateway to Derry’s Bogside no-go area into which the RUC and British army were unable to operate.
Zero Waste North West activist, Jim Keys said the move was part of a build-up to a global day of action rally at Derry’s Waterloo Place on Saturday at 2pm.
Rallies and marches are planned across the world to coincide with the global day of action.
Mr Keys said activists were keen to highlight the "reality behind the hype of COP26".
The Derry man claimed leaders were more focused on supporting a capitalist system which was destroying the world than dealing with the climate emergency.
"As the cradle of the civil rights’ movement, our struggle found strength in the global solidarity it won," he said.
"The climate justice movement is a global one, not just with people but with the ecosystems which are integral to supporting life on earth."
The environmental activist said that it was only through the pressure of people taking to the street, campaigning and mobilising for climate action that the change needed to address the climate crisis could be achieved.
