How the bailed-out banks are using our money to finance climate change and human rights abuses

10:30am – 4pm, Saturday 17th April

Stirling Methodist Church, Queen Street, Stirling

Come and hear George Poitras, former chief of the Mikisew Crew, and Clayton Thomas-Muller, coordinator of the Indigenous Environment Network in Canada, give their powerful accounts of how projects funded by the Royal Bank of Scotland are threatening the land, health and human rights of indigenous communities in Canada. 

And join WDM Glasgow and other activists on the streets at lunchtime, asking the good people whether they want their money to go into the Royal Bank of Shame or the Royal Bank of Sustainability…

The event is FREE and open to all, but you need to register in advance – email office@wdmscotland.org.uk, or phone 0131-243-2730

Global Poverty, Climate Change and Britain’s Carbon Debt

A public meeting with

Douglas Alexander, Secretary of State for International Development

Deborah Doane, Director of the World Development Movement

Reverend Ian Galloway, Convenor of the Church of Scotland’s Church and Society Council

Friday 19th March, 6-7:30pm, Wynd Centre, 6 School Wynd, Paisley

Climate change – we caused the problem, but it’s people in the developing world who are facing its worst impacts. We’ve already used more than our fair share of carbon, so it’s time for Britain to pay its climate debt. Come along and ask the Secretary of State why the UK Government wants to loan money to Bangladesh through the World Bank, rather than paying proper compensation for our climate debt.

Free event. All welcome, no need to book.
