Brighton pupils urge PM to get moving on climate crisis

Brighton pupils are calling on Boris Johnson to tackle the climate crisis and ensure those worst affected are put at the heart of this year's climate talks. In a stunt outside Brighton Old Pier on 22 June, pupils from Cardinal Newman Catholic School, Hove, held a banner reminding the government that "The 'Eyes of the World' are watching" ahead of the UK hosting world leaders the UN climate conference 'COP26' in Glasgow this November.

"We're here today because we need our young voices heard on the problems of climate change by the government, who need to help people who have already been affected by climate change", said one pupil explaining why they got involved with the campaign, run by charity CAFOD.

Another added: "We need to keep caring for our environment so that the future generations can enjoy the wonders of our world."

The 'Eyes of the World' banner first made an appearance on the opening day of the G7 summit in Cornwall in June.
