For World Climate Day we are proud to present 'DIVEST! The Climate Movement on Tour' plus four shorts from Divest East Sussex. Followed by a Q&A with researcher Dario Kenner (author 'Carbon Inequality') and Jane Ripley (Scientists for Extinction Rebellion).
DIVEST! Chronicles 350.org's 'Do the Math' bus tour across the US in 2012 as it launched the fossil fuel divestment campaign onto the US and ultimately international stage (Divest East Sussex is the local part of this global movement). Each night Bill McKibben, Naomi Klein and others laid out the findings in his landmark Rolling Stone article 'Global Warming's Terrifying New Math', making the moral and historical case for fossil fuel divestment.
Since then, over 1600 institutions representing over $40 trillion in assets have committed to divest.
The campaign is winning, but with the clock ticking down the question remains: will the victories add up enough to matter?
To lead the discussion after the screening we are delighted to welcome John Enefer from Divest East Sussex.
