Friends across Britain have helped draw attention to climate change ahead of this week’s UN Climate Summit in New York.

More than fifty Quakers were among an estimated 40,000 marchers who came together in central London on Sunday 21 September, also International Day of Peace, to protest. The gathering was one of 2,808 climate change events held in 166 countries, with Quakers well-represented at the largest march, in New York.
