Abstract

Join us for a screening of Plan Z (https://plan-z-film.co.uk/) followed by a discussion between co-director Louisa Jones, conservation scientists and climate activist Dr Charlie Gardner, and conservation biologist Professor Nathalie Pettorelli.

When the UK government ignores mounting evidence for climate breakdown, a group of scientists turn to civil disobedience to warn the public themselves, risking arrest, a criminal record and their professional reputations. A window into the world of reluctant activism, Plan Z explores the power of protest when established routes of influence fail.

Why are scientists breaking the law for climate change? And what would it take for you to feel – and act – the same way? Plan Z challenges many of the assumptions surrounding disruptive climate protest by exploring the ethics and human instincts behind it that are common to us all.
