Is she right?
We spoke to 5 climate activists to find out why they think climate protest is important during Cop26 and beyond. With these activists we cover issues such as personal responsibility and system change, indigenous rights in the Amazon, and the role of climate protest in pushing government action.
In this video we interview:
Victoria Alis: Biologist and youth activist
Nisreem Elsaim: Chair of UN Secretary General's Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change
Asad Rehman: Executive Director of War on Want, Cop26 coalition spokesperson
Chief Ninawa Inu Huni Kui: President of the Huni Kui People's Federation of the Brazilian Amazon
Rupert Read: Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of East Anglia
