Why we Act: February 2022 IPCC Report
Coverage of the Feb 2022 IPCC report from the UN.
“Our current future trajectory is a long drawn out tragedy. We have the privilege right now to know about it, we have the capacity to act on it, and history has shown us that anybody can be part of movements for change. We have the luxury of a rich history, which can teach us about them for inspiration.”
“So we have a responsibility, but there is a mass movement here which can help to make change happen. We believe collectively in the power of good people and you can still join us because there is still time.” This talk is from the Extinction Rebellion Open Call on March 15th.
