EALING Green Party supporters joined 400,000 people around the world in a march for action on climate change on Sunday.

Christina Meiklejohn, 54, an Ealing member, said it was invigorating to see so many people at an event her group had been attending for years.

She said: “We came last year and we thought it was winding down, so it was fantastic to see so many turn out this year.”

The People’s Climate March was observed at more than 2,000 locations around the world, including London.

Around 40,000 people are thought to have attended the march in London, which ended in Parliament Square.

The aim was to put pressure on world leaders, including David Cameron and Barack Obama, who are attending a climate summit in New York this week.

Andrew Pendleton, head of Campaigns for Friends of the Earth, said: “Time is running out to avoid catastrophic climate change. International talks are not enough - we need urgent action, too.”

Ealing Green Party ran candidates in 17 of the 23 borough wards in this year’s local elections and plan to have candidates in all three Ealing parliamentary constituencies at next year’s general election.
