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.”
