Copportunity knocks!

How can we make COP26 a turning point for climate action?

As we emerge from the Covid crisis we will still be facing the deeper and longer climate crisis. This is the year that all eyes will turn to the UK as the host country for the latest UN climate talks.

• How can we make sure that we see both climate action and climate justice in 2021?
• What is the role for parliament?
• What are the radical but practical policies we need to push for?
• How can we make street protest and NVDA effective?

Joining us will be:

• Sarah Lunnon on the CEE Bill - in a previous life has been a historic building surveyor, a local authority councillor for the Green Party, representing Stroud at District and County level and the coordinator of Extinction Rebellion's Political Circle. She is now working with the CEE Bill Alliance, lobbying to change the law to protect our future.

• Carla Denyer on the Greens’ 10-point climate plan - Green Party councillor in Bristol. In 2018 she proposed the first Climate Emergency motion in Europe. Before entering politics, Carla worked as an engineer in the renewable energy industry, specialising in offshore and onshore wind technology. She was the 2019 Green Party parliamentary candidate for Bristol West, and was also a candidate in the 2019 European Elections.

• Laura Baldwin from Greens CAN (Climate Activist Network) - Green Party member, mother, Olympic sailor, activist, community connector, building resilience and environmental restoration. The Green's CAN was established in November 2020 in response to the governments inadequate action on the climate and ecological emergency.
