Negotiations by the players at COP26, that is governments and big businesses, have not ended in the progress green campaigners have lobbied for.

“For over forty years the Green Party has been telling people about climate change. We created policies to combat it, policies that are fair and that encourage people to change their lifestyles to a greener one. Other political parties said that we were unrealistic, that people would never vote for such changes, yet one after […]
Tackling the climate crisis and the loss of biodiversity does not require a political party to have green policies; it requires every policy to be green. Our planet does not separate itself into neat little compartments; all species share the atmosphere, the water resources and the soil. Harry Hayfield understands this fully. “In the Green […]
The skills we test at GCSE and A level appear to have nothing to do with the real challenges young people have faced this last year and will certainly not prepare them for coping with future crises such as climate breakdown.

“Let me start by thanking the wonderful staff in our local hospital and surgeries for helping Ceredigion residents get through this pandemic. We are not there yet but, fortunately, we have not seen the dreadful losses that other parts of the country have suffered. I also want to extend a big thank you to carers, […]
