Jeremy Corbyn Speech on Climate Crisis: Now Is Not the Time for Small Steps

British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn addressed hundreds of climate activists and trade unionists in Paris on Monday at an event organized by Trade Unions for Energy Democracy.

"We've taken the responsibility on ourselves to do something here and now–to stop the destruction of the world's environment, to bring people together to prevent that happening, and above all, to bring people together not through fear, but through hope, through imagination, through optimism," Corbyn said. "Unleash the optimism, unleash the imagination, unleash the hope. That is the way forward."
