Since May 2015 clean energy technology has been sidelined in favour of a dash for gas, susbsidies for clean energy have been cut (including the cut this week to solar thermal subsidy) and roads and runways have been pushed through despite strong local opposition (find out more). So what better way to mark the government's one year anniversary than to march - backwards - down Whitehall?
A creative and colourful protest that will make a serious point: we're running out of time to act on climate change, and we can't afford to go backwards.
