As COP29 gets underway in Azerbaijan, a coalition has highlighted how Wales is fighting climate change.

The West Wales Climate Coalition has pointed out some of the work being done in Wales to combat climate change.

COP29, held in Baku, provides a platform for holding countries accountable for their climate commitments, fostering international pressure that accelerates climate policies worldwide.

This keeps climate goals in the global spotlight, which is essential for sustained progress according to the coalition.

The coalition says that COPs are a part of an 'ecosystem of change' that includes national legislation, community action, industry innovation, and individual commitment.

Each part of this ecosystem works together to sustain long-term climate goals and make meaningful impacts achievable.

COPs also provide a means to connect and share global best practices.

West Wales Climate Coalition offers an opportunity for groups in West Wales to communicate and collaborate on social and climate justice issues.

In Ceredigion, Cardigan Extinction Rebellion has taken part in several actions in London, including Restore Nature Now, Defend our Juries, and Insure our Survival.

In Cardigan, the group is promoting the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Climate and Nature Bill.

Other work includes developing the Hope Garden, hosting a monthly local radio climate show, and running weekly street stalls.

Stand Up to Racism continues to call on the UK government to provide safe passage to refugees, to end discrimination, and to recognise the importance of climate justice.

A significant focus for many groups is the upcoming second reading in the UK Parliament of the Climate and Nature Bill on Friday, January 24.

West Wales Climate Coalition is urging people to contact their MPs to ask them to attend and support the bill.
