Quakers joined the crowds in Glasgow this week to stand witness at the twenty-sixth UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26). While over 100 world leaders gathered at the Scottish Event Campus on 31 October, Friends travelled from around the globe to support the summit after months of preparation and solidarity. Quaker and interfaith pilgrimages convened at the city, culminating in a joint Pilgrims’ Procession on 30 October, organised by Extinction Rebellion.
