It's Now or Never: Inspiring global action to protect the planet

We are hosting an exclusive event in collaboration with Global Citizen, a movement inspiring and empowering millions of people around the world to learn and act in support of the most critical issues facing humanity.

This event, in collaboration with Global Citizen, will discuss the climate crisis, undeniably one of the biggest threats the world is facing right now. Every day we are presented with more evidence of the widespread environmental and social damage the climate crisis is leading to. In 2020, the University of Essex declared a climate and ecological emergency and with the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) currently underway, an event many believe to be the world’s best last chance to get runaway climate change under control, it's a great time to join the conversation.

The event will bring together a panel of experts to discuss the role we must play to respond to the climate crisis and save our planet. The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A, with speakers including:

• Michael Sheldrick, Co-founder and Chief Policy, Impact and Government Relations Officer at Global Citizen
• Kindred Motes (MA International Relations, 2014), Founder and Managing Director at KM Strategies and Senior Impact Advisor at Global Citizen
• Sabrina Elba, actress, model and activist, United Nations IFAD Goodwill Ambassador and Global Citizen Advocate
• Professor Lorna Fox O'Mahony, Deputy Vice-Chancellor at University of Essex (Chair)

Together, these experts have impacted more than 1.5 billion people globally through their respective campaigns, projects, research, and initiatives. Be part of the climate conversation.
