You ARE the Climate Majority : a talk and discussion led by Rupert Read.

Rupert Read has recently taken voluntary severance from his role as Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia, after 26 years, to dedicate himself to the Climate Majority Project as its Co-Director. He was a spokesperson and political strategist for Extinction Rebellion and a spokesperson, parliamentary candidate and councillor for the Green Party. He also formerly chaired the ecological think tank Green House.

He has extensive experience arguing for the ecology in media. He has written for The Guardian, The Independent and The Ecologist and many other newspapers and websites. He has been on BBC R4 Today , QuestionTime, Newsnight and Good Morning Britain.

The Climate Majority Project aims to help a majority of people in the UK who care about climate and nature – i.e who care about our very future – to understand that they are powerful together, and to take meaningful action, relevant to themselves and their communities. As well as ‘practical’ action, it advocates the importance of cultures of support, political inclusivity and resilience: to help us face the trouble we’re in together.

After the talk there will be ample time for questions and discussion. Rupert will then be available to sign books.
