Members of Cambridge World Development Movement joined over 100 other campaigners in a candlelit vigil on Parker’s Piece at 20:00 on Sunday 21 September. The vigil was one of many events worldwide ahead of the UN Climate Summit, opening in New York on Tuesday.
Cambridge WDM Co-Secretary Clare Baker, who was at both the vigil and the London march, said:
“Climate change can’t be business as usual. We want to see action. In WDM, we want to see a halt to destructive coal-mines around the world — and that means an end to banks funding the mines. It’ll be great if the New York summit can move that forward.”
The Cambridge vigil was organised jointly by Cambridge Green Party and the online campaigning body 350.org .
