Church bells across UK will ring out to call for urgent action on climate change on the eve of COP26
The UN summit, which begins on Sunday, brings together 196 world leaders and an estimated 20,000 delegates to commit to a reduction in carbon emissions to avoid a climate emergency.
"It's an historic function [of church bells] to send a warning, because they used to be the best form of communication we had," Mr Gildea said."With Ring Out For Climate Change, bellringers are able to express themselves, so it's giving people a voice as well as giving the church a voice."Tomorrow at 6pm the bells of St John the Baptist, Morton will ring out to mark the start of the COP26 Climate Change conference.
