<p>Green campaigners have marched on Parliament demanding greenhouse gas emissions are slashed to help prevent &#8220;climate catastrophe&#8221;.</p>
<p>With UN delegates meeting in Cancun, Mexico, to hammer out a deal to cut global warming, thousands of campaigners marched through London.</p>
<p>Hundreds of people in Hyde Park formed themselves into a &#8220;2030&#8221; with a giant zero &#8211; spelling out the date by which campaigners want a &#8216;Zero Carbon Britain&#8217;.</p>
<p>After creating the human 2030, campaigners cycled and marched through central London to urge the coalition Government to take strong action to decarbonise the economy and create a million green jobs in the process.</p>
<p>The climate rally was addressed by Green Party MP Caroline Lucas, Labour&#8217;s John McDonnell and Michael Meacher and leaders of green organisations and unions.</p>
<p>Larissa Stuart, spokesman for Campaign Against Climate Change (CACC), said: &#8220;There was a great atmosphere and the politicians made really rousing speeches.</p>
<p>&#8220;We had lots of support from people and gave out lots of leaflets and really raised awareness.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ahead of the march, Phil Thornhill, also from CACC, said: &#8220;Gridlock in the international negotiations does not stop the slide towards climate catastrophe gathering deadly pace &#8211; as we have begun to witness this year in flood-stricken Pakistan, drought-hit Russia and other places.</p>
<p>&#8220;It makes it all the more crucial that we transform the politics behind that impasse and we can start at home.&#8221;</p>
<p>Friends of the Earth&#8217;s executive director Andy Atkins, who also spoke at the rally, said the &#8220;alarm bells are ringing loudly&#8221; and urgent action was needed to stop climate change.</p>
