Part of my speech at @ClimateNCL’s rally to coincide with #COP29 - the UN Climate Change Conference. We can build a greener society if we also build a fairer society.

Hundreds marching for climate justice in Newcastle today.

A great crowd gathered at Newcastle Civic Centre for the rally to speak up for climate justice.

📣 BREAKING: More than 1,770 fossil fuel lobbyists attend #COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. New analysis from #KickBigPollutersOut finds that there are more Big Polluter representatives at COP29 than there are delegates from the ten most climate-vulnerable nations. This is outrageous, and Big Polluter interference will cost millions of people their homes, livelihoods, and lives. We need to #WeedOutTheSnakes NOW! 🌡️ Global temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions are at all-time highs. So why are 1770+ of fossil fuel lobbyists being given access to #COP29? Big Polluters shouldn't get to dictate the terms of climate action after setting the planet on fire. We need: ➡️People In ⚠️#PollutersOut ✅An Accountability Framework to protect the talks from industry interference We must #WeedOutTheSnakes and #KickBigPollutersOut NOW! 🔗 kickbigpollutersout.org
