Demonstrations demanding 'global climate justice' coincide with the COP27 climate summit in Egypt.
Former Plaid Cymru MS Bethan Sayed spoke about a campaign linking the current cost of living crisis to the continued reliance on fossil fuels.
Ms James said the event tried to highlight the "injustices" around the globe when it comes to emissions."COP this year is happening [in] Africa [which] actually produces only around 3% of our global emissions," she said. "Here in the global north, so the EU countries, the USA, we actually produce something like 80% of global emissions.""If they come together on a day like today and have their voices heard, we really can make a difference," she said.
"We need to come together, tell government to end fossil fuels now, to stop funding fossil fuels, tell banks to stop funding fossil fuels and really get serious about ploughing money into renewables and into sustainable energy."
