 Transport enquries: office@northeaststopwar.org.uk Global Day on Climate Action  On
November 16 as countries gathered at the climate change conference
COP29 in Baku, a wide coalition of groups are calling for speedier
action to prevent runaway climate breakdown.
On November 16 protests took place across the country. In Newcastle it was organised by the North East Climate Justice Coalition, with Climate Action Newcastle, Greenpeace and Extinction Rebellion along with many other organisations, including Newcastle Stop the War. A march was held on Northumberland Street, which was part of the Global Day of Action. This aimed to raise awareness about the urgent need for climate action and that the people must be empowered to harmonise the natural and social environment into a liveable planet in the interests of the future of all. It was reported that Jacky Doran, 69, Climate Action Newcastle organiser, said: “Temperatures this year have risen even higher than the 1.5 degree C temperature increase in the Paris Agreement – and with rates of fossil fuel burning increasing rather than falling, we’re hurtling ever faster towards disastrous climate breakdown. All the experts agree that the dithering and denial has to stop – urgent action must be taken now, both here and around the world.” Pam Wortley Vice Chair of Newcastle Stop the War also addressed the rally which was chaired by Tony Dowling. She said; "The Stop the War Coalition is an anti-war movement, dedicated to preventing and ending all wars. Wars are a major cause of the climate crisis with 20% of environmental degradation around the world due to military activities... If we’re to have any hope of a liveable planet, we must divest from war and destruction." We attach her full speech. Pam Wortley rally speech |
