Show your colours for climate, justice and jobs
Saturday 28th November 2015, gather at 12 noon on The Meadows, Edinburgh
Join the worldwide movement marching for a better future. Over the weekend of 28th and 29th November, people across the world will march for climate action: from Melbourne to Tokyo and from Mumbai to Buenos Aires.
In the build up to the UN climate change negotiations in Paris, we are standing up for people affected by rising global temperatures and demanding that world leaders agree an ambitious deal.
Recent tragic events in Paris mean that planned climate marches there have been cancelled. So it’s more important than ever that people across the world take to the streets in their own countries to call for climate action. Join us in Edinburgh for Scotland’s Climate March!
A low carbon society will create green jobs, improve our transport and food systems and protect our land, air and water. Scotland needs to show its colours in Paris and beyond with strong action on climate change.
Wear your brightest colours as Scotland marches on this weekend of global action.
