Counting on … day 197

22nd October 2024

The United Nations Climate Change COP29 starts on 11th November in Baku, Azerbaijan. Like the Biodiversity COP, the discussions of this gathering of global delegates should be really important, but the fear is that, as with previous COPs, placatory words are easy, following through with both funding and actions is harder – but essential. 

How can we as individuals make any impact? 

Not everyone approves of the actions taken by groups such as Insulate Britain and Just Stop Oil, but if nothing else their actions have lifted the profile of the climate crisis in the media.

What we can all do is talk about the crisis, engage our neighbours in the conversation and make the subject newsworthy.
