Images from yesterday’s COP26 Global Day of Action for Climate Change in Sydney, Gadigal, part of a world wide protest movement aimed at pressuring governments to find an immediate pathway to reduce reliance on fossil fuels in an attempt to reach at least net zero emissions by 2050.
Around 1,000 people turned up to Hyde Park North and marched to Circular Quay. Much focus was on how climate change affects Aboriginal people and Pacific Islanders in particular.
So far, COP26, held in Glasgow, has failed to come up with any substantive and effective agreement on how to reach net zero. Speakers at yesterday’s rally in Sydney emphasised that real change had to come from the public, as governments and corporations around the world had proved time and again that they could not provide leadership on this crucial issue.
