Marchers highlight climate change
Campaigners from all over the world are marching through Derbyshire this week to highlight the impact climate change has on the world's poorest countries.

They are walking 1,000 miles around the UK, taking in 70 towns and cities, for Christian Aid's Cut the Carbon march.

Some of the demonstrators, who set out on 14 July, are from Kenya, Mali, South Africa and Brazil. The entire journey is expected to take 80 days.

Organiser Lucy Waldron said developing countrie were feeling the impact.

She said: "The poorest people in the world that aren't particularly able to cope with this are suffering even more and it's having a devastating effect on their livelihoods."
