The planet is in ecological crisis: we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction event this planet has experienced. Scientists believe we may have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown. This is an unprecedented global emergency. Join us for our first kick off to the festival as members of Extinction Rebellion share the latest climate change science of where our planet is heading, discuss some of the psychology behind climate change, and offer solutions through the study of social movements, followed by an open discussion about the movement and the climate crisis.

Join members of Extinction Rebellion as they deliver their key talk, ‘Heading for extinction and what to do about it’, followed by an open discussion about the movement and the climate crisis.
