Supporting the Global Climate Strike

On 20th of September 2019 the largest ever Youth-led Global Climate Strike is taking place. This is demanding that global leaders commit to urgent climate action and is timed to put pressure on the forthcoming UN Climate Summit in New York.

This is a culmination of the actions taken over the last year by an ever-growing number of young climate activists, demanding that we all act on climate change. They are calling on us adults to support them in making these demands.

URBED’s longstanding commitment to sustainable development means that we are happy to add our voice in support of the call for urgent action. On the 20th of September 2019 we will:

  • Enable staff to join the demonstration and the march that will be taking place at Manchester Central Library at 12 noon, through an extended lunch break
  • Enable staff to take paid or unpaid annual leave to take part in day-long support of the youth strike
  • Continue to work towards the commitments detailed in our blog post “Architects Declare and Beyond” published on 17.09.19
