Artist from Hungary says he's painting murals in Glasgow so 'people don't forget COP happened' COP26BBC

Daniel Rupaszov, 25, from Hungary, belongs to a group of artists and activists who visit COP every year to create art which highlights the climate crisis. In the latest in a series of first-person accounts from the Glasgow summit, Daniel talks about the murals he is painting around the city., has been coming to COP for years now - wherever it is held. We'll set up a space, provide free materials and help activists make banners, carnival puppets and other artwork ready for demonstrations.

Every year we also find a space to paint a mural during COP, to leave something permanent and thought-provoking behind after the negotiations - so people don't forget that this happened in their city.I’m going to create three murals - today I’m painting in Partick, less than two miles from where COP negotiations are taking placeOur first iconic project was at COP nearly six years ago, when the Paris Accords were agreed.

I've been in Glasgow for about two weeks now and I've been looking for a space to paint a mural here. We had quite a few offers, and so I'm going to paint three murals over the next few days with support from Friends of the Earth Scotland. Today I'm on Hayburn Street in Partick, less than two miles from where the COP negotiations are taking place, painting at a location that I chose because it's next to a zero-waste shop.
