CLIMATE activists held a funeral for the broken promises of the Paris Agreement over the weekend after global average temperatures smashed through the 1.5°C target.

A solemn procession around Cambridge city centre on Saturday was attended by activists from Extinction Rebellion (XR), Greenpeace, Stop the War and the Organisation of Radical Cambridge Activists. 

They carried a black funeral casket and a banner reading: “No future on a dead planet.”
