Climate Justice Coalition - Make Them Pay Petition (COP30 Action) Posted 14 November 2025
Faith for the Climate (an inter-faith group) are supporting the Climate Justice Coalition's petition 'Make Them Pay!'.
They say 'Billionaires and polluting corporations are increasingly destroying lives and being rewarded with more vast wealth, while working people worldwide are left to pick up the pieces. If we don’t fight back, we will pay for billionaires to get richer as the climate and public services collapse around us and our government is increasingly run in the interests of the super-rich.
We need real, transformative change. It’s time to make the super-rich and polluting corporations pay for a just transition from fossil fuels, for better public services, for all the destruction they have caused – in the global south and the UK. Will you sign the petition and tell Keir Starmer it’s time to Make Them Pay?'

Climate Fresk Workshops - were created in 2015 with the aim of raising public awareness about climate change. The workshop works in a game format and lasts about three hours, divided into three distinct phases. The first phase consists in discovering and linking the cards by cause-consequence relationships to create the 'Fresk', as explained in IPCC reports. The second phase is creative: the participants decorate the Fresk and choose a title. The last phase is a debrief enabling a discussion about players' feelings, positions, questions and both individual and collective solutions. (info source - Wikipedia)
Harriet Martin requested a workshop for her U3A climate group in Birmingham, which Linda Murgatroyd was happy to facilitate. The event was open to the U3A group and anyone in the area who wished to participate.
Harriet says 'the aim of the 'game' is for each team to place cards in order on the table, finding all the cause and effect relationships and drawing arrows between the cards to illustrate what climate change is all about... It takes at least one and a half hours to play the game and ideally another hour to discuss the groups' solutions. The ideal group size is probably 4-5, giving everyone a chance to explain their choices of where to place cards. It's important that you play the game before attempting to facilitate one... (it's) a very good way to help people grasp the intricacies of the causes and effects of climate change.
