Bethan signs the WWF petition
BETHAN Jenkins played detective when WWF Cymru staged a Climate Crime Scene at the National Assembly in Cardiff Bay recently.
This year is the most important ever for our climate with UN negotiations concluding in Copenhagen next month. To raise awareness of this critical time for action in the run-up to Copenhagen, WWF Cymru staged a Climate Crime Scene at the Senedd on November 17.
WWF Cymru staged an outline of a life-sized polar bear cordoned off by police tape to depict the possible sign of things to come. WWF invited Assembly members, visitors and staff to the Senedd to view the crime scene and to sign up to a petition for a strong global deal to be agreed in Copenhagen in December.
Bethan said: “WWF Cymru has demonstrated with this innovative photo call what the future holds unless climate change is tackled now. Climate change left unchecked will have devastating impacts for people and wildlife across the planet. We simply must secure a strong deal between nations in Copenhagen in December to seriously tackle this problem. I hope people in South Wales West to sign up to WWF’s campaign to show their support and help safeguard our planet.”
