Christian Aid’s Cut the Carbon campaign came to Birmingham on August Bank Holiday with a big rally, headlined by pop star Lemar. Our global reporter Catriona, 13, met him backstage!

Catriona, from Sutton Coldfield near Birmingham, was the youngest speaker at the rally.

‘I’ve talked to my friends about climate change, and what we can do about it,' she told us. 'One said that our generation didn’t cause it, but now we’re stuck with it and there’s nothing we can do. Another said that most people know about climate change but they still don’t really care.'

‘This isn’t good enough! The one thing my friends and I agree on is that unless everybody tries to help, then we won’t be able to make a difference.’

The rally was organised by Christian Aid and Islamic Relief. It brought hundreds of people onto the streets of Birmingham, asking the UK government to do more to stop global warming and showing that climate change is harming people in poor countries the most.

‘I think it was a really successful day,' said Lemar. When you are asked to perform in something that’s so worthwhile and so positive and good, it’s a great opportunity.’
