National Climate March on November 4 2006.

by: Phil Thornhill

London: As part of a day of international protest a week before the Nairobi Climate Talks, which will take place between the 6th and 17th of November 2006, demanding urgent action from world leaders on climate change, a rally is being planned in London. This day will hopefully see the biggest ever climate-focused demonstrations both in the United Kingdom and internationally.

The timetable is as follows: 1000am: Cyclists assemble at Lincoln's Inn Fields for Cycle Protest. 1030am: Departure to rally point via the Exxon Mobil offices and the Australian embassy in Aldwych and Downing Streets. 1130am: Arrival at American embassy. Music and messages of solidarity from across the world will be read. 1200pm: Rally at the American embassy in Grosvenor Square, London. 100pm: March for Global Climate Justice from the American embassy to Trafalgar Square. 200pm: I-Count Mass Gathering in Trafalgar Square.

Phil Thornhill of the Campaign against Climate Change said that, "it is vulnerable communities in the developing world who are already suffering from the impacts of climate change like the victims of drought in East Africa, where this year's Climate talks are taking place. The high-carbon lifestyles of the West are mainly to blame and the West must lead the way in instituting an effective international emissions reductions treaty, which is the only way we can prevent this huge injustice swelling to the scale of a global catastrophe. That is why the Campaign against Climate Change is holding rally at the embassy of the Unites States which has consistently blocked progress on such a treaty, before joining an unprecedented number of climate-concerned citizens in Trafalgar Square to demand urgent action from our own and other governments."
