Climate Emergency – Extinction Rebellion (XR) - What next? From 9:15am-12:00 noon in the Old School Community Centre. This meeting will be held in the manner of a ‘People’s Assembly’, to take the ideas expressed at the last meeting on 18 May, plus any new ones, forward to a decision on what will be our focus for action. All welcome even if you have not been involved before. FFI look out for posters or contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

For clarity this is about the campaign, not about what individuals or groups can do on a practical level about reducing carbon emissions, which falls more under the remit of other local organisations such as Sustainable South Brent which as now formed a ‘Zero Carbon Action Group’, South Brent Parish Council which has declared an ‘Environment and Climate Emergency’ (see ‘News’ section below) and South Brent Community Energy Society which will be holding a discussion on how the Society can best contribute to making South Brent a zero carbon community” at its AGM on 13 June.

The ‘Extinction Rebellion(sometimes shortened as XR) is an international social movement that aims to promote radical change, through nonviolent resistance, in order to minimise species extinction and avert climate breakdown. Organisers say they hope the campaign of ‘respectful disruption’ will change the debate around climate breakdown and signal to those in power that the present course of action will lead to disaster.
