North London COP Climate Festival

If there is one thing this last year has shown us, it is that we  cannot rely on the government to bring a halt to climate change. At  present, it is depressingly clear the top-down institutions of  government are failing to tackle the climate crisis. 

We believe only a  series of widespread, collective, grassroots movements have the power to  force real change. That's why the Camden New Journal and  Islington Tribune are organising a special climate summit in  collaboration with Conway Hall and Islington Climate Centre at Conway Hall in Holborn – our very own North  London COP.

"We believe local newspapers have a real, tangible role  in mobilising this kind of collective action, in facilitating debates  and discussions and pushing a grassroots effort to tackle the defining  challenge of our age," says the Tribune. 

There will be a series of debates and panel discussions along with stalls and performances.
