An environmental group has chosen Bangor Pier for a global climate summit event.

NWWales Climate Action hosted the Bangor Big Climate Banner Event on the pier for COP29.

The event was part of a worldwide initiative to call for a fair transition from fossil fuels.

The group wants adequate financing for countries in the Global South, which are suffering from the emissions of Western countries.

The event saw members of the community, including groups like Christian Aid, North Wales Africa Society, Extinction Rebellion, and Climate Cymru, come together to make a long line of banners.

The participants, who ranged from primary school children to a 75-year-old, organised 20 banners and even managed a 'Mexican wave' after some practice.

The event was a request to the Senedd to sign up to the Global Fossil Fuel Treaty.

The treaty would mean a commitment to end the extraction of fossil fuels while ensuring a fair transition for all communities in Wales and globally.

Local resident Lowri said: "It is important for me to come to events like this to stand together with the victims of climate change globally and to try to protect future generations.

"Visual events like this are important to change public attitudes and to keep the need to reduce fossil fuels at the top of the political discussion pile."

Alison, a retired teacher who was at the event, said: "I enjoyed creating a mega banner and sharing the space with lots of visitors on Bangor Pier.

"I hope the Welsh Government will sign the Fossil Fuel non-proliferation Treaty and set an example for the rest of the UK to follow.

"Biodiversity and a sustainable future for all life on Earth is at stake."

Sam Ward from Climate Cymru added: "We need a global fossil fuel treaty to get the world back on track.

"Wales was the first nation in the world to declare a climate emergency, the only one to legislate for future generations and it has a chance now to continue to lead."

The event highlighted the need for a commitment to end fossil fuel extraction while ensuring a fair transition for all communities in Wales and globally.
