Significant turnout for climate march

Activists were out in numbers for a march through Douglas yesterday urging for action on climate change.

'The Time is NOW' event took to the streets outside Tynwald on Wednesday, which organisers say was nearly 200-strong at its peak.

It coincided with a protest which took place in London at the same time and focused on the themes of keeping fossil fuels in the ground, divestment of them and fare free public transport.

Last week Tynwald officialy recognised a climate change emergency and committed to setting up a team to drive changes across government to meet climate change objectives.
