Dear Mark, Viva! is demanding that the Government includes a shift to plant-based diets in their climate commitments. Take action with us ahead of COP28 by joining our London demonstration on the 25 November 2023.   COP is a key point in the environment calendar, marking the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference where world leaders come together to discuss the supposed ‘solutions’ to tackling the climate crisis and its impacts. Demand for meat, dairy, fish and eggs is the number one driver of wildlife loss, is fuelling the climate crisis, and threatening humanity’s own existence. Yet given the devastating impact it has on the planet, there is no mention of dietary change in the UK Government’s environment and climate strategy.  Our leaders are governing the death of humanity. Without a healthy planet, we have no future.  We need to take a stand against climate inaction, and we need you to join us this 25 November.

Join Viva!’s demonstration at Parliament Square

Where: Parliament Square, London When: 25 November 2023, 11am to 2pm We’ll be bringing lots of placards to explain why we need to include the impacts of meat and dairy in environmental commitments. There will be plenty to hand around if you need one or bring your own!  This is a collaborative event where we will be joined by other groups to amplify this unified message. We will have speeches throughout the day.

Our action on Parliament Square is just the beginning – we want to support you in taking action in your local area.  

COP28 will be a key event in the environment calendar, with rallies and demos across the country; allowing people to have their voices heard about the need for climate action now.  

COP28 is being held 30 November to 12 December 2023. Take action in your local area as part of a local COP28 rally or hold your own event or stall. 

At Viva! we will be updating our website regularly with details of national events. However, if there isn’t one already set up near you, why not hold your own outreach event or demo instead? Keep us updated on your climate action plans.
