A new coalition aiming to tackle climate change on the Isle of Man has been formed.

The IOM Climate Change Coalition is made up of eight different groups - including the Manx Labour Party, IOM Green Party and Amnesty IOM.

It says it wants to address the issue in three key areas of reducing emissions, investing in renewables and keeping sustainability promises to UNESCO on the Island's biosphere status.

It will be hosting a launch event next week at the Legion Hall in Douglas on Thursday, November 22 from 7.30pm.
