RESIDENTS are standing up against climate change in Reading this weekend.
Reading Friends of the Earth and Econet have teamed up to host a COP26 session in the town centre.
On Saturday, people are invited to meet on Friar Street to find out more about how to live sustainably and take action to help the planet.
There will also be representatives from a number of climate-conscious groups, including Reading Hydro, Reading Environmental Network and Extinction Rebellion Berkshire.
Richard P Allan, professor of Climate Science at the University of Reading, will host a presentation on the science of climate change.
John Booth, treasurer of Reading Friends of the Earth, said it is important to share the news about the climate crisis as much as possible.
“Our presenters bring a huge amount of knowledge to this discussion, and I hope the citizens of Reading come away informed and inspired,” he said.
There will also be presentations from Reading Community Energy, Reading Youth Parliament and local councillors to highlight changes made in Reading to deliver the Climate Action Plan.
The event, which will take place at St Laurence Church from 2pm, is free.
Booking is not required.
