Video Highlight: “The Climate Fight Gets Hotter”

Bill McKibben is an award-winning environmental journalist, author, Co-Founder of 350.org, and leading global climate activist. This week, he published a riveting article on the need for a new WWII-style climate mobilization, and he'll return to the Bioneers stage this year with a keynote on "What Winning the Climate Change Battle Looks Like." Back in 2012, he spoke at Bioneers about the landscape of international climate action. “Most of the people we work with around the world are poor and black and brown and Asian and young, because that's what most of the world is made up of – and they're as interested in the future as anybody else.” Watch Bill's 2012 keynote here »,

Instead, he’s dramatically demonstrating on large scales how to shift our relationship to nature and to culture - and climate-proof our cities and coasts. Listen to the podcast »
