'Friends attended the vigil to urge G7 leaders to take decisive action on climate justice, restore the cuts to the aid budget, and to cancel the debt burden on poorer countries.'

Quakers came together last week to pay witness to the G7 (Group of Seven) summit in Cornwall. As world leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the United States gathered at the Carbis Bay resort, Friends walked from Falmouth to the venue, holding the leaders in their thoughts. Meanwhile, as Friends and other campaigners engaged in a range of action, hundreds of young people from Young Christian Climate Network (YCCN) and Christian Aid walked nearly 1,000 miles from Cornwall to Glasgow, dragging a boat behind them.
