This is a great watch. Professor Kevin Anderson and Greta Thunberg in conversation about #climate science and leadership, #decolonization and intersectionality, #overconsumption and responsibility, and the importance of climate honesty to engender real hope and foster the emergent #systemchange we need for survival
