Unfortunately, despite a great turnout this morning to protest against it, today the Reform-led Durham County Council voted to rescind the 2019 climate emergency pledge. As Jonathan Elmer, one of Durham’s Green councillors remarked, this is ‘a very dark day’ for the council.

Durham County Council wants to rescind the climate emergency declaration it made in 2019. Join the protest against this move at 9am on Wednesday 16 July, on the steps of Durham County Hall.

Days after scientists warned that the Paris Agreement 1.5C limit on global temperatures will soon be passed, NE climate campaigners met at the annual Friends of the Earth gathering to demand bolder action. We urge MPs to ensure the forthcoming Climate Plan leads in tackling the climate emergency.

Tomorrow, Sat 21/06 is the Friends of the Earth Summer Gathering at Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone. If you haven’t booked, here’s the link for the day & midsummer’s evening event, both free!
