CLIMATE action is again coming to Worcester this weekend.

Extinction Rebellion is holding its second protest in as many weeks in the city, with a "deep water rising" protest to warn of rising sea levels caused by global warming.

Members of the group will set up at South Parade on October 30 at 4.30pm.

Attendees are being asked to bring something to shine a light with such as candles and torches.

In addition, protestors will be bringing along whistles, drums, horns and other noise-making items to make as much noise as possible.

A spokesman said: "Through a campaign called ‘Deep Water Rising’ Extinction Rebellion is calling on people across Worcestershire to call the alarm to COP26, the UN’s Climate Change Conference held in Glasgow.

"This will comprise a peaceful and non-disruptive public gathering beside the River Severn in Worcester, before the start of COP26 the following day.

"The gathering will be open to anyone who wants to channel their fears about climate change and their hopes for effective action into a powerful, noisy message to world leaders assembling in Glasgow.

"For those people unable to leave their homes, there will be an opportunity to join in with a burst of noise on doorsteps and at windows."

The COP (Conference of the Parties) process was set up by the United Nations in 1995 to address growing concerns about climate change.

Despite the many pledges made and targets set by governments at international meetings over 30 years, carbon emissions and atmospheric temperatures have continued to rise.

Ros Cooke of Worcestershire Deep Water Rising said “Our world has never been in greater peril than it is now.

"The UN’s own reports reveal just how far off track we are in reducing global carbon emissions.

"We don’t need yet more empty promises and greenwash from the world leaders gathering at COP26.

"Despite all their talk over 25 previous meetings they have failed to protect us from the effects of climate change.

"We want people to join us in calling out those failures; we want the rich and powerful attending COP to know that we are watching them.”
