Activists from Cardigan and Pembrokeshire have been in Glasgow calling for urgent action on climate change at the COP26 Climate Summit.

Cardigan Extinction Rebellion member, Jane Mansfield, was one of the campaigners protesting outside the headquarters of US banking giant JP Morgan.

Holding signs aloft reading 'Green wash won't work' and 'No1 fossil fuel funding bank' the group spent time on Waterloo Street as world leaders continued talks in the city.

Ms Mansfield said she had met people from all over the world, learning about how climate change is "already causing terrible suffering" in the global south.

She added: “We need to push our governments to provide these most vulnerable developing countries with the funding which they promised, but have not delivered.

“This is basic climate justice and it is essential to help the countries which are the least responsible for climate change, but are suffering the most from its effects.

"The funding is needed to enable them to cope with climate damage, and to develop using renewable energy rather than fossil fuels. This has been agreed at previous COPs but has not been realised.”

She also managed to speak to Adam Price MS, the leader of Plaid Cymru, and discussed the urgency of the situation, and the ways in which Wales can play its part.

“We’re talking about an existential issue, like the future of the planet," he said. "And for me, as a new parent of two young children, I’m thinking constantly about what I can do to bequeath to them a liveable planet. It doesn’t get bigger than that.”

Members of Cardigan and Pembrokeshire Extinction Rebellion also wore huge masks, which were caricatures of some of world leaders, made by Bim Mason.

Mr Mason, a lecturer, performer, author and one of the UK’s leading mask-makers, moved to Angle, Pembrokeshire, just before the first lockdown, and has been involved with XR groups in Cardigan, Fishguard and Carmarthen.

“The aim is to name and shame those leaders and influencers who have got us into this climate catastrophe, by denying the science or delaying action," he said.
