SUMMARY:Relay to COP26: Lobby for Climate Finance
DESCRIPTION:An event to highlight the need for just climate finance at COP2
 6\, and lobby local politicians on this issue\, as part of the Relay to CO
 P26.\n\nThis November\, world leaders are meeting in Glasgow for important
  climate negotiations called COP26. A group led by Young Christian Climate
  Network have begun walking from the G7 summit of wealthy nations in Cornw
 all\, in a relay arriving at Glasgow in time for COP26. They want to send 
 a message that it’s time to make decisions which protect people not bank
  balances\, and to decide that no country will go into debt tackling clima
 te change.\n\nThe relay has four key demands:\n\n 	Reinstate the foreign a
 id budget to pre-COVID levels\;\n 	Secure agreement from rich countries to
  double the commitment of $100bn a\nyear for climate finance\;\n 	Develop 
 with other governments and international organisations a new\nregulated cl
 imate loss and damage mechanism which not only saves lives but\nlivelihood
 s\;\n 	Push for the debts of the world’s poorest countries to be cancell
 ed so they can\nbetter confront the climate crisis and other urgent priori
 ties.\n\nWe will be hearing more about these demands\, and calling on our 
 local leaders to hold the government to account on their commitments.\n\nW
 e will also welcome some of the Relay walkers arriving from Gloucestershir
 e.\n\nRead more about the relay and how to get involved.\n\nThe relay will
  be stopping in Birmingham between 23rd and 27th August\, with events happ
 ening in the city centre throughout the week.
