For nearly 2 years, Extinction Rebellion has been striving to bring attention to the climate and ecological crisis. In April 2019, after two weeks of non-violent civil disobedience by XR in Central London, the UK Parliament declared a Climate Emergency. Another 'rebellion' in October further increased public awareness and media attention. Still, the Government has done little toward making the changes that are necessary to avoid disaster.

When the Covid pandemic struck, governments around the world suddenly found they COULD make changes to protect their people. They LISTENED to the science. Now we need the same urgency and discipline to be applied to the impending climate crisis which will bring far more damage and death to the world than Covid.

This new talk will give an update about the current science on climate change and explore the ways in which the discovery of our real priorities during the pandemic can be channelled into positive solutions to the climate crisis.

Part of this is forcing those with power to take action. Find out more about XR's varied methods of non-violent direct action (NVDA) - from street stalls to political engagement to sitting in the street - and how you could bring your skills, knowledge and enthusiasm to our movement. There will be time for questions!
