Make climate crisis top editorial priority, XR campaign urges BBC

Extinction Rebellion group call on BBC to tell 'full truth about ecological emergency'

Climate campaigners are calling on the BBC to declare a climate emergency and make the issue its top editorial priority.

In a letter published in the Guardian, the new civil disobedience group Extinction Rebellion (XR) says the BBC, "as a respected media voice in the UK, needs to play a key role in enabling the transformative change needed".
