Great to listen to outgoing Mayor of Cambridge City Council Cllr Baiju Thittala acknowledge that the wealth of city is the value of our diversity here. But shocked that our formal Lib Dem opposition abstained on the traditional vote thanking him for his service

It was wonderful to share my views of #COP29 with a very engaged audience. I believe we need to work much more on #ClimateLiteracy and #CapacityBuilding to ensure all voices are heard and ensure there is a proper understanding of what it all means.
