Greta Thunberg: The Climate Event
On Sunday 30 October 2022, Greta Thunberg joined us, and writer and broadcaster Samira Ahmed, in our Royal Festival Hall for the global launch of The Climate Book.
A clarion call to create change, The Climate Book brings together an unprecedented collective of over 100 experts, activists and witnesses to tell the biggest story in the world: how and why our planet is changing.
Containing testimonies from scientists and engineers, youth leaders and indigenous communities, national and international thinkers, and the voices of the most affected people and areas on the front line of climate change, The Climate Book presents a global overview of the many, interconnected crises unfolding across the planet today. And it reveals the part we can all play in securing a safe future for life on Earth.
Following an initial address to the packed auditorium, Thunberg went on to join Ahmed to discuss the book’s themes, and the pressing need for action in the very urgent fight for the future of the planet. After all, if a schoolchild’s strike could ignite a global protest, what could we all do collectively if we tried?
To enable Thunberg’s message and words to reach as many people as possible, we are delighted to be able to share with you all, this full recording of her appearance at the Southbank Centre, which you can watch now for free.
This event was presented by the Southbank Centre in partnership with Penguin
