Guardian Live is pleased to have the National Biodiversity Network Trust joining this very special event, the Guardian Climate Forum 2026.
In the last few years we’ve witnessed a dramatic shift away from the progress we need to avert climate disaster. How have policies and actions to protect the climate been so badly weaponised? And what can we do to counter this new kind of opposition to climate action?
Join Guardian Live at the Royal Geographical Society in London alongside its panel of climate, environment experts and activists for a hopeful and solutions-focused evening on how we can all work together to fight for the planet and our shared future.
