As the climate crisis deepens, activists have evolved new approaches with spectacular success in raising public awareness. Particularly crucial are the interventions of younger activists demanding action to protect their futures and the future of the planet.

Panel members:
Varsha Yajman and Jean Hinchcliffe from School Strike for the Climate

Doors open at 6.00pm for a 6.30pm start.
