Alton Climate Action Network, other local community groups, young people and churches are coming together to hold a “Vigil of Hope”, to draw attention to the crucial UN Climate Talks in Glasgow in November. We must make it clear that failure is not an option if the
hopes and dreams of our children and their children are to be realised.
The UN’s latest report on climate change was described by the UN Secretary General as “Code Red for Humanity”. But there is still time to avert the worst if we think big, act fast and work together. Come along to Alton Market Square (GU34 1HZ) at any time on 30th or 31st October to talk, sing, pray, play climate games, or reflect quietly. We believe in the power of hope.

We are inviting you to join us on this day to bring your own message to leaders; because the more of us there are, the more of an impact we will have. We need to unite to push our leaders to bring climate change action to the front table now.
More information like meeting points and times will be added soon to this page if you are interested but it would be great if you could email: becca.cole.28@gmail.com as an RSVP so BVFoE knows what sort of numbers will be coming to the March!!

Fareham and Gosport COP26 – Day of Action – 6 November 2021
On 6 November, people all over the world will be taking part in a Global Day of Action – and Gosport and Fareham Friends of the Earth invite you to join us for a short, fun performance.
Panto comes early to Stokes Bay, as Gosport and Fareham Friends of the Earth present “King Canute of Westminster”. Will the king be able to keep his promises: no floods, no fires and no sea level rise? Will he put our money where his mouth is? Or will he put most of our money in the pockets of oil and gas corporations?
Join us for the performance at Stokes Bay near Pebbles Cafe from 11.30 am on Saturday 6 November. Our group members will also be free to chat about topics that interest you and tell you more about our activities.

Clang for the Climate 30/10 Southampton
Climate breakdown threatens to destroy everything we love. Join us to sound the alarm about the risk of flooding in Southampton due to global warming – Clang for Climate!
Delegates from around the world will meet in Glasgow on 1st November for the most important conference in the world’s history: COP26. People everywhere must make them understand the urgency and act now. Flooding due to rising sea levels and extreme weather is the UK’s equivalent of heatwaves and wildfires seen elsewhere in the world, and areas of Southampton along the river Itchen could be under water by 2050 unless more action is taken now.
“I want you to act as if our house is on fire. Because it is.” – Greta Thunberg
Bring a torch or lantern and anything that can be banged or rung to make a loud noise – a bell, saucepan or bucket – and meet from 5pm at the ramp into Riverside Park from Bitterne Triangle. At 5.30 torches and lanterns will be lit, then we will move onto Cobden Bridge. At 5:58 there will be a 2 minute silence, and then at 6pm we will make a noise loud enough to be heard by local politicians and in Glasgow.
