Llangollen - Global Day of Action for Climate Justice 6th Nov

Start: Saturday, November 06, 2021• 2:00 PM

Llangollen Global Day of Climate Justice

CoP26 Day of Action for Climate Justice on Saturday November 6th... Join us for any part of the event.

We want to celebrate the beautiful landscape of the Dee Valley and highlight how climate justice is essential. We're calling for action from the UK government to stop supporting fossil fuels and protect our future.

There'll be three groups walking, cycling and kayaking into town, carrying props (there is a lot of papier-mâché going on!), information about what we're doing (encouraging people to write to their MP), taking pics and posting to social media and generally having a nice time. We'll then all convene at Centenary Square for a collective photo op at 2pm.


MAIN MEETING: 2pm Centenary Square, Llangollen Town Centre.

All groups and individuals to assemble at 2pm in the Square, mainly for a photo, and there'll be a short speech too. Photos will go on social media and press release.

WALKERS: Meet at 12.30pm for a walk up to the Pancake (photo!) and back down into Town for 2pm. Meet at the Wharf Cafe near the picnic benches.

CYCLISTS: Meet at 1pm at the Horseshoe Falls; meet down by the falls. Cycle along the canal towpath. Pick up other cyclists at the Pavilion car park at 1.30pm, finally heading into town for 2pm.

BOATERS: Meet at Lower Dee Mill (behind Ponsonby pub) car park at 1.30pm to walk into town for 2pm.

You're welcome to join a group part way through their route and please don't feel you have to carry a prop/sign or give out info (the latter is mainly if people are interested in what we're doing and there's an opportunity to have a quick conversation with them).

So... we'd love for you to join us! It'd be great if you could let us know if you're coming and which group you'd like to join (or if meeting at the Square), just so we've got a rough idea of numbers. To let us know you're attending or if you've got any questions, please contact warren.davies@llangollenweb.co.uk.


Join the Global Day of Action for Climate Justice!

Make sure to RSVP for updates and reminder of the Global Day of Action.

On 6 November 2021, as world leaders meet in Glasgow for the COP26 Global Climate Summit, towns and cities across the world will take to the streets demanding global climate justice.

We are living through a period of multiple breaking points - from climate to covid to racism. We know that these crises not only overlap, but share the same cause. 
While no one can escape the impacts of these crises, those who have done least to cause them suffer the most. Across the world, the poorest people and communities of colour are too often those bearing the brunt of the climate crisis. From coastal villages in Norfolk whose sea-defences are eroding faster than ever, to people living by the Niger Delta rivers blackened by oil spillage. 


The Era of Injustice is Over: Our Time is Now

Justice won’t be handed to us by world leaders or delivered by corporations. So far, governments have done too little too late: colluding with corporations and hiding behind green washed ‘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.

The transformative solutions that we need to survive and build a more just and fair world can only be brought about through collective action, solidarity and coordination, from our local communities and international levels. We are bringing together movements from across the world to build power for system change - indigenous movements, frontline communities, trade unions, racial justice groups, youth strikers, landworkers, peasants, NGOs, grassroots community campaigns, feminist movements, faith groups.

Wherever you are in the world, now is the time to join the fight for climate justice. We need all hands on deck: in workplaces, communities, schools, hospitals and across national borders.

6 November: Join us one of the actions being organised across the world or organise your own so that we can be loud and clear to the world leaders discussing our future: we want climate justice now!

COP26: Why does it matter?

World leaders and experts will meet in Glasgow in November at the global climate talks, COP26. 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. 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.
