COP 30 : The Future In Our Hands

Ealing Friends of the Earth supporters gathered on the steps of the town hall to draw attention to the 30th United Nations climate conference (COP 30) taking place in Brazil (from 6-21 November), with world leaders from across the globe attending, including Britain’s PM Keir Starmer. “It’s probably the most important meeting on Earth” say the group “but it gets too little attention”.

 They explain ...

“Back in the 1990s the scientific evidence became overwhelming that burning oil, coal and gas was causing the Earth to heat up due to effect of the carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the air. Faced with the evidence, governments came together, and via the United Nations began holding annual conferences (called ‘COP’) to try to agree how to stop these disastrous emissions of CO2: the first meeting took place in Berlin in 1995.”

 

 

EFoE tours the stunning ‘Letters from the Global South’ exhibition

 Ealing Friends of the Earth (EFoE) are touring the stunning ‘Letters from the Global South’ exhibition around the borough. So far it has been in West Ealing Library and at the Dominion Centre library in Southall.

The posters are the result of a project by Zero Hour, the campaign group behind the Climate and Nature Bill, and Muslims Declare, a group of Muslims concerned that world leaders are putting communities at risk by failing to act swiftly on climate change.
