Members of Hounslow Green Party joined tens of thousands of other protestors on Saturday 6th November, the Global Day for Climate Justice and marched from the Bank of England to Trafalgar Square. The march was part of a decentralised mass mobilisations across the world, to demand stronger action to tackle climate change from the world leaders at the COP26 conference in Glasgow.
Stephen Clark, the Green Party candidate for Brentford West in next year’s local elections, who joined the march, said “It is great to see that so many share our view that we need immediate and strong action at the COP26 conference to help mitigate the worst impacts of climate change. The time for talking is past, we must act together now. The recent budget, with the cynical reduction in Air Passenger Duty on short flights was a lost opportunity to send a positive message to the world”.
