Does consumption lie at the heart of our global crises?
The Covid-19 crisis has disrupted ‘business as usual’ in every country around the world, providing a unique opportunity to press for systemic change and address the global challenges of our time.
Join world-renowned investigative journalist, author and environmental campaigner George Monbiot for a livestream talk and interactive Q&A. George will unpack some of the complex problems behind the world’s most pressing and persistent issues, exploring the catastrophic effect of consumption on people and planet.

This multicamera, studio event with George will include a powerful poetry performance from Climbing PoeTree at Bioneers, animation from TreeSisters, talks from visionaries such as Satish Kumar, Gabriela Cabana-Alvear, Jonathan Neale and Mac Macartney from Embercombe, as well as music from Mobius Loop and Tallulah Rendall.
