Climate activists blocked the Mont Blanc Bridge in Geneva on Saturday, gluing themselves to the tarmac.

Six were arrested and the traffic was disrupted for around an hour and half. 

The demonstration started at around 2pm and ended at 4.

The campaigners are part of Renovate Switzerland, which has been active in a similar fashion across the country for months. 

They’re demanding the government spend CHF 4bn on training 100,000 people to provide insulation for homes and businesses.
