The Manchester COP26 Coalition came together to protest for Climate Justice during the COP26 talks in Glasgow in November 2021. This summit is an opportunity to discuss the question of climate justice, globally and locally, in the context of wider discussions about the type of city that we want to live in. How do we create a sustainable future while ensuring that no communities face injustice, inequality and oppression?
