The Tamworth rally will call for ambitious carbon emission reduction targets, demand support for renewable energy and show support for Liverpool Plains farmers who are battling coal mines.

The event is part of a global movement, with local, national and international organisations taking to streets and parks in more than 150 countries on November 29.

Event organiser Robin Gunning said the event would take place on the eve of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, and aimed to deliver a resounding public call to world leaders to take urgent and ambitious action when they meet.

“The Global Climate March is snowballing into a massive mobilisation of millions around the world who want leaders to do more to stop runaway climate change,” Dr Gunning said.

“Tamworth residents are taking part to show local concern that climate talks deliver a deal that will avert climate catastrophe and move the world to a new green economy with 100 per cent clean energy.”

New England Climate Action Group member Emma Stilts said all concerned residents were invited to the rally, which will start at noon, to show their “determined opposition” to mining activities.

“This event is an opportunity for local people to voice their opposition on local fossil fuel projects like the Shenhua Coal mine and CSG fields in the Pilliga that only add to the global problem of climate change,” Ms Stilts said.

“What we are saying in New England is ‘no new coal’ – but are (New England MP) Barnaby Joyce or his National colleagues listening?”
