We would like to hear your questions about the climate crisis and we will put a selection of them to our panel
The Guardian’s climate assembly with George Monbiot and special guests
In the last few years we’ve witnessed a dramatic shift away from the progress we need to avert climate disaster. A growing lobby of economic and political denial has been empowered by the Trump administration, which has declared war on climate progress, launching more dramatic anti-green moves in its first 100 days than in his entire first term. Around the world, a growing number of lawsuits are being used against governments over environmental laws and other regulations, while groups such as Greenpeace are being targeted too.
On Tuesday 16 September, a Guardian panel of experts will be looking to answer questions about the forces driving the pushback against a greener world.
The live event in London will start with a special welcome address from the Guardian’s editor-in-chief, Katharine Viner. We’ll then be joined by the Guardian columnist George Monbiot; Mikaela Loach, the climate justice activist and author; and Emma Pinchbeck, chief executive of the Climate Change Committee and with other special guests to discuss the factors driving the big green pushback, and answer your questions followed by a special address by singer and environmentalist Feargal Sharkey. This panel discussion will also be livestreamed globally.
