HEADS of governments are gathered in Katowice, Poland, this week for the annual United Nations climate conference. They meet just weeks after the stark warning from scientists that we have a mere 12 years to implement rapid and far-reaching transitions in land, energy, industry, buildings and transport, if we are to avoid further climate breakdown.
WHILE Scotland was in the grip of snowstorms from the “Beast from the East” earlier this month, the Arctic was experiencing record high temperatures. As these extreme weather events become more common with climate change, we need to be sure that we’re doing all that we can to tackle this global crisis.
Have you made any new year’s resolutions yet? Before you commit to the same old destined-to-fail resolutions as I do every year, I invite you to join me in making a new one. It’s something that we can do together, it will get you out of the house, teach you new skills and will make a real difference to people’s lives. I want you to get involved in the campaign against climate change in 2018.
