Brisbane to hold climate change rally

Queenslanders are set to take to the streets in central Brisbane calling for more action on climate change.

The Peoples Climate March leaves from Queens Park on Saturday morning and is one of several being held across Australia ahead of a United Nations climate summit which begins in Paris next week.

"Queenslanders are marching to call for an end to fossil fuels and a shift to 100 per cent renewable energy," a statement from organisers said.

Organisers expect up to 5000 people to attend the Brisbane rally.
