Formed to support the COP26 International Coalition in 2021, we continue as part of the international Climate Justice Coalition to build grassroots agitation in Plymouth & surrounding areas, to force Politicians and Corporations to reduce global heating emissions by at least 45% by 2030, and zero carbon emissions by 2035! The world faces climate catastrophe unless there is global action now.
The COP29 Climate Conference in November 2024 was a travesty of injustice with no agreement on the decisions that can save hundreds of millions of people from climate catastrophe. We continue to organise in Plymouth as part of the international movement for climate justice, organising for protest at COP30 in November 2025.
Join our protest march assembling at Guildhall Square on Armada Way at 11am, and Climate Summit on Saturday 15th November 2025 at the Sherwell Centre, North Hill, Plymouth, beginning with a free lunch at 1pm followed by 6 workshops to choose from, 2-6pm along with climate campaign stalls and continuous refreshments!
For further details please email us at plymouthhub4climate@gmail.com
In the build up to COP30 we have an Autumn Programme of events and meetings, linking the movement together and including the trade union TUC Year of Climate Action! Join us!
Thanks to everyone who supported our protest march on Saturday 23rd November 2024 and the Climate Summit at Sherwell Centre, North Hill, Plymouth. We discussed the corruption and hypocrisy of COP29 held in Baku, Azerbaijan, an oil-producing police state dominated by the petroleum company, BP. Globally, we ensured our voices were heard, including from Plymouth!

We will be holding another Climate Summit on Saturday 15th November 2025 and a fortnight of events and actions coinciding with COP30.
Plymouth Hub for Climate Justice is a collective between ourselves, Climate Action Plymouth, Food Plymouth and Climate Clarity.
THIS IS OUR PLOT!
We have a space at the Plot, 80-84 Union Street, Stonehouse, Plymouth PL1 3EZ – please pop in and see us! Our “Shed” space is available to all climate groups to run small events and to have a space for climate conversations. If you would like to be involved, please get in touch by emailing Plymouthhub4climate@gmail.com
Please download and print the flyers available as pdf’s at our resource page.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) AR6 Report shows that we need to increase finance 3 to 6 times by 2030 to bring down and limit warming to below an average of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Countries must significantly scale up finance now and work towards agreeing an ambitious new climate finance target at COP29.
Right now we are seeing more than 1 billion people significantly affected by Climate Change with little or no investment in adaptations and emissions reductions. Preventing every additional increment of warming matters now for people and nature. The more temperatures rise, the more extreme the impacts of climate change will be, and the higher the risk of tipping points and irreversible impacts to ecosystems and people’s lives and livelihoods.
The COP28 Climate Conference of the United nations held in the Oil City of Dubai,and COP29 was in Baku, Azerbaijan, another oil rich state, ensuring little or no democratic process or possibility of open challenge through protest. The outcomes produced little real impact towards halting climate catastrophe. Indeed, the COP process has been an agency for preventing effective climate action over the past 30 years.
Now the COP 30 in November 2025 is in Brazil which, despite being another oil-rich police state has an open and democratic Climate Movement opening the way for mass lobbying and direct pressure on the fossil fuel corporations. Globally and locally we have a succession of protest actions and events in the lead-up to COP30. Join us!
Join Us!
Come to our meeting for International Workers Day, on Saturday 4th May at 3pm at the Athenaeum Theatre, Drake’s Circus, Plymouth. Stop the Climate Denial! Build the demand for Climate Justice! In association with Plymouth Trades Union Council.
The agreement reached at COP28 is littered with weaknesses and does not nearly go far enough to stop climate catastrophe, with no mention of actual plans for phasing out fossil fuels, a lack of clear commitments on climate finance and an over reliance on false and unproven technologies such as carbon capture and storage.
The Climate Justice Coalition and other organisations for climate action build events and actions across the world to create action for system change from below.
In Plymouth we bring together all environmental and climate activists for consideration of the science, discussion and debate, action planning and determination to push for real emissions reduction and system change.
In December 2023 we organised protests and a Climate Summit to challenge the COP28 delegates. Got to our Climate Summit page here
Climate Justice demands not only justice and reparations for the people’s across the Global South – those responsible for the least global warming emissions yet suffering the most – but also protection for the poor and working class of the so-called advanced industrial countries of the North, the nations most responsible for the fossil fuel emissions since 1800. Climate Justice demands redistribution of resources, international co-operation including demilitarisation, to prevent climate and economic collapse.
As part of our campaigning to end C02 emissions we supported the call by Fight Fossil Fuels to put pressure on the United Nations during its’ “Climate Ambitions Summit” to be held between 15th and 17th September 2023. We ran the Climate March and Rally in Plymouth on Saturday 16th September in Plymouth to kick start the Autumn of climate action in the city towards the COP28 week of activities in December:
Following on from successful local actions to lobby the COP Climate Conference process each year, we are planning for a week of local action and boycott of the COP28 in Dubai, UAE, December 2023, with a Climate Summit in Plymouth. Find us on facebook and WhatsApp for the latest news and actions!
We organised a mass protest march and a Climate Summit of all organisations and activists in Plymouth on Saturday 2nd December – the start of COP28. And we’ll do it again next year! For more information email us at plymouthhub4climate@gmail.com
All our campaigning is underpinned by climate justice principles. It is particularly important now, when so many are facing hardship here in the UK, that we recognise that the cost of living crisis here has the same roots as the climate crisis and other global issues such as the debt trap. International solidarity is as important as ever. See: All our campaigning is underpinned by climate justice principles.

6th November 2021: 1,000+ Protest and held a People’s Assembly for Climate Justice in Plymouth:
After a powerful Plymouth march for Climate Justice on Saturday 6th November (see below) and a frustrating COP26 outcome, the Plymouth Hub for Climate met in December and agreed grassroots proposals to keep moving forward to strengthen the climate movement in Plymouth – and surrounding areas – in view of the magnitude of the climate emergency. Our focus is to reduce emissions of global heating gases – C02 and Methane in particular. We agreed the scope of actions:
We intend to collaborate on practical steps, using the skills of all groups and individuals within this Hub Coalition effectively. Proposals include to create three fronts:
1) March/Demos/Protests
2) Regular Public Conversations/Discussions to educate and organise.
3) Public Panels – with local authorities/representatives sharing their plans, followed by Q&A sessions. And more ideas!
To accomplish any of these proposals we’ll need enough people to make it happen. Whether you’re new to the climate struggle or have years of experience, we welcome your ideas and participation. Please join us by checking this website and our social networks (at the bottom of this page) regularly. You can email us to receive regular mailings about everything happening.
The Plymouth Hub for Climate was originally formed to support the COP26 International Coalition and we continue building a grassroots climate movement in Plymouth & surrounding areas as part of the international network of Climate hubs. We organise in an horizontal format and our struggle is intersectional.
The Plymouth Hub4Climate is building local alliances for local and global climate justice.
A huge thank you to every individual of the more than 1,000 people who took part in our rally and march for the Climate in Plymouth on Saturday 6th November. We made our voices heard! And thanks to the 160 who attended our People’s Assembly that afternoon, considering the potential futures of the ecology and environment in detail, and planning for the future we need and demand, and the future we will make together. Photos and reports on our “News” page (above). Stay with the Plymouth Hub for Climate, and stay active!
Please look through our menu above for more events, discussions and proposals.
The COP26 Coalition is a UK-based civil society coalition of groups and individuals mobilising around climate justice during the COP26 UN Climate Conference in November 2021. Coalition members include environment and development NGOs, trade unions, grassroots community campaigns, faith groups, youth groups, migrant and racial justice networks – to name a few.
To sum-up the failure of COP26, listen to Greta Thunberg: 2.4°C if all governments met the 2030 targets, the world will still reach an average of 2.7°C with current policies. Also, these voluntary “Nationally Determined Contributions” (NDC’s) are based on flawed and underreported numbers. And this is IF leaders meet their promises, which judging by their track record is not very likely…This is what some seem to celebrate at the end of COP26. ”Glasgow has a credibility gap between talk and action. If all govts met their 2030 targets, we would have 2.4˚C of warming in 2100. But right now, current policies put us at 2.7˚C or more”. Read more here

Movement of Movements: We are bringing together movements from across the world to build power for system change. We need all hands on deck: in workplaces, communities, schools, hospitals and across national borders.
Grass roots: Decentralised organisation roots our resistance in local communities and issues, whilst building power to fight climate justice globally.
The Local Hubs are local cross-struggle alliances that expand the climate movement into climate justice-centred networks, in a transformative and inclusive way.
November 6th 2021
Saturday 6 November was the big global day of action called by the COP26 Coalition of civil society organisations. Millions protested across the world
More than a thousand people joined the Plymouth march and rally, synchronised with demonstrations across the the world for Global Climate Justice Now!
The flagship national demonstration in Glasgow saw 150,000 march, and large scale regional demonstrations in other major UK cities ensured a quarter of a million people on our streets, with local and international demonstrations in towns across the UK and the world.
Building the day’s events cost a lot of money, and we still need financial help and support – please donate generously below:
