Greens from around the South Yorkshire Region joined in the Global Day for Climate Action on Saturday 6th November in Sheffield.
People from many walks of life came together to express their grave concerns for the climate and ecological catastrophes currently facing the world.
They were calling for real, effective, joined up action and system changes, not just more empty words.
Global problems need global solutions.
The decisions made at COP26 will shape how governments respond (or not) to the climate crisis.
They will decide who is to be sacrificed, who will escape and who will make a profit.
So far, governments have done too little too late: colluding with corporations and hiding behind greenwashed ‘solutions’ that actually don’t exist yet, that don’t address the scale of the problem, and in many cases rely on more exploitation of people and the planet.
COP26 is happening at a crucial moment in history.
Across the world and across movements, we are seeing a new wave of resistance, global solidarity and grassroots organising.
We have a unique opportunity to rewire our system as we recover from the pandemic.
We can either intensify the crisis to the point of no return, or lay the foundations for a just world where everyone’s needs are met.
