The @IPCC_CH says we have to reduce global emissions by 45% by 2030 if we are to stay under 1.5C of warming.
In the Global North this requires us doing our fair share and going at least net-zero by 2030. So, we need to start now.
That's why this coming election is so important.
It was very encouraging to see the turnout of all ages on Friday at the @StrikeFermOma in #Omagh
That afternoon I attended the inaugural meeting of the FODC Climate Change Resilience Group,where I proposed that Council challenge industries which are destructive to our environment
Another hectic few days with the Natural Environment, Community & Practice of Peace Conference in #Derry on Thursday, the @StrikeFermOma Rally in #Omagh on Friday & the Our Earth Our Future March on Saturday.
It's heartening to see our message striking a cord with so many others.
Two weeks ago, I wrote to all school principals in NI encouraging them to facilitate their students to take part in the #ClimateStrike.
Former DUP Education Minister @peterweirmla called me 'irresponsible'.
Today, the most responsible people in Belfast gave him their response.
Can everyone going to the strike today please send as many photos and videos as possible to us?
(We would like to repost them - with credit of course!)
Hi @BorisJohnson, we hope you've been revising for your Geography GCSE!
Will we be seeing you at the #ClimateStrike today? We can give you some revision tips!
Why are we striking today? We are striking to demand radical climate action and justice, but we also have four specific demands.
Most importantly we want a #GreenNewDeal that includes going zero-carbon by 2030.
