Demonstrators disrupted traffic, forcing police to block the motorway at various locations until they were able to bring the activists down. Police say 16 arrests were made in Kent, Essex, Surrey and Hertfordshire.

Similar protests took place along the busy thoroughfare on Monday when activists from the group also climbed gantries on the M25. The protests coincide with the Cop27 summit in Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt, convened to address some of the world's most pressing climate issues.
