The People’s Climate March took place on the eve of this week’s landmark climate summit, which will see world leaders gather in New York for emergency meetings called by UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon.
London Greens joined thousands of people on the streets of London this Sunday to help inspire the world’s leaders to take ambitious action on the climate crisis.
The Greens are the only Westminster party committed to delivering an economic system that works for people and the planet.
Dr Shahrar Ali, Deputy Leader of the Green Party, who was at Sunday’s march said:
“The New York Summit provides us with a unique opportunity. Our politicians must grasp the huge possibilities available to us for tackling the threat of climate change and building a new economic system that puts people and communities ahead of profit and consumption. The Green Party is inspired to bring about this change and if world leaders fail to listen to us today then our work continues tomorrow.”
