The mural in Stroud Green Road

ARTISTS behind a mural in Finsbury Park hope to raise awareness of a campaign to reduce carbon emissions ahead of the G7 summit starting today (Friday).

The meeting of the seven world leaders in Cornwall is expected to discuss issues relating to the climate emergency, and artists supporting the Zero Carbon Campaign are urging the government to meet its net zero commitment by banning fossil fuel subsidies.

The mural is on a billboard in Stroud Green Road.

Activist Georgia Elliot-Smith, who has launched a legal case against the government for its failure to include incineration emissions in the UK’s new system for pricing carbon, said: “While government ministers make bold speeches about climate ambition and public health, behind closed doors they devise policies that enable major polluters like waste incinerators and the fossil fuel industry to continue pouring out emissions.”
