acTVism Munich: In this exclusive interview with environmental activist Bill McKibben, we talk about climate change, the Conference of the Parties (COP) convention
generally and their recent meeting in Poland, as well as the latest
report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). We also
cover climate action, the current state of the environmental movement in
the US and abroad as well as possible solutions that individuals can
apply to tackle humanity’s greatest challenge yet.
Bill McKibben is an author and environmentalist who in 2014 was awarded the Right Livelihood Award: The 'Alternative Nobel Prize'. He is a founder of 350.org,
the first planet-wide, grassroots climate change movement, which has
organized twenty thousand rallies around the world. A former staff
writer for the New Yorker, he writes frequently for a wide variety of
publications around the world, including the New York Review of Books,
National Geographic, and Rolling Stone.
350.org
uses online campaigns, grassroots organizing, and mass public actions
to oppose new coal, oil and gas projects, take money out of the
companies that are heating up the planet, and build 100% clean energy
solutions that work for all. 350’s network extends to 188 countries.
