The Rise of Climate Denialism, with George Monbiot and special guests
Across the planet, hard-won progress towards a healthier planet is being threatened – but what are the forces driving the big climate pushback?
From governments and big oil companies turning their back on climate promises to secretive lobby groups and far-right politicians fuelling anti-green climate moments, in the last few years we’ve witnessed a dramatic shift away from the progress we need to avert climate disaster.
Is climate being weaponised? How do we face this new kind of opposition to climate action?
We’ve invited a selection of climate and activist groups to showcase meaningful initiatives you can participate in. We’ll then be joined by the Guardian columnist George Monbiot; Mikaela Loach, the climate justice activist and author; and other special guests to discuss the factors driving the big climate pushback.
This is your chance to hear first-hand from leading climate experts and activists, and to ask them your own questions.
Presented by Guardian Live. Tickets for this event are booked through Guardian Live’s Box Office.
