The ex-archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has been out on the streets with us. He agrees that it is not really surprising that people feel they need to break the law in a peaceful way, at this point, to get themselves heard. ac Marc many ride on businesses that bus they're going to go bust and that with ecological collapsed will come economic collapse that's an inevitability. We've also seen many unlikely allies, sitting in the streets together, so ex police officers with doctors, teachers, children, even like farmers sitting down with vegans in the street. can come together, because and that's one thing that I think we've done fairly well, as a starting point to bring these unlikely allies together and start to build a broad church and recognise the universal threat that all of this is. And so what these times are asking of us is an interesting question. a rai gwnaeth, rai os ganddw i'n ganddw i'r cwestiynau yn gweithio'r peth. Ond yn gweithio'r cwestiynau, ydych chi'n ganddo i'n ganddw i'n ganddw i'w peth o'r ddweud ar y cymdeithasol, a'r dweud y gwneud ar y cwestiynau? Roedd ychydig yw'r cyfeirio yn ei gael i dda i gael ei gaelid i'w cymdeithio'r cwestiynau? Roedd ychydig yw'r cwestiynau, roedd ychydig yw'r cyfeirio i ddweud? OK, cool. I'm staying stood up, seeing as you all are. Do you think that you'll live to see an unrecognisable planet to the one that you were born on? If yes, stay stood up. People who sat down just stand up one more. Stay stood up if the answer is yes. Have you ever cried because of the state of our environment and our environmental crisis? OK, cool. All right, cool. You are paying attention, most of you. Sit down. That's cool. I guess what we're trying to do with this movement is get people to face up to reality. The reality is that we're in this kind of grave, grave risk. There's a scientist who I recommend you look up if you don't know his work, Sean Huber from the Potsdam Institute, and he's just done a whole load of work around risk assessment. He's been looking at the insurance industries. He's been looking at the methodologies they use to assess risk, and he's been looking also at air traffic controllers. They use a different method, which looks at kind of the time you have left to act before the event happens, which is slightly different to the insurance methods. And so he's estimated that we have already gone into a 10% chance that we're going to experience a runaway warming event, which means that we can't stop it or go back from it, and that the cost of that to the global economy will be somewhere between 100 trillion euros and the loss of civilised life completely. He also brought a very interesting provocation to a conference a year or two ago where he described to some scientists, the first rule of humanity is don't kill your own children. And I think this is interesting. The alarm bells, they've been ringing for some time, but when you really listen to some of the things that people have been saying, there is no understanding on my part of why people are not entirely joining us on the streets. Why isn't everybody sitting out there and saying, no, enough? When Christina Figueiras has said at 1.5 degrees there will be no business continuity, the future is uninsurable if we meet our Paris targets, and we're not going to, right? We're headed for like 3 to 4 degrees of average warming by the end of this century, not 1.5, we are miles away from doing that. So, in the short term, what does this mean? We've got this sort of massive loss of biodiversity. We're in an extinction event. Some people have said, you know, this is the sixth mass extinction that we can find, the geological record shows us five previous. But the question now has been raised, is it the first mass extermination? Because actually we don't have any proof that sentient species caused any of those previous extinction events. We know that we're going to lose the Arctic. We know that there are many, many feedback mechanisms built into the systems that mean that as things get hotter things are going to get worse quicker and quicker and it's going to become self-perpetuating. I think many people don't realise quite how simple some of this stuff is. You know, water vapour is a greenhouse gas, so as it warms up there will be more of that. The pollution in our atmosphere is cooling the planet because it's stopping radiation from coming in. So as we clean it up it's going to get hotter again. You know, that's why we made this banner, because it was like nobody actually says this to the general public. And the third sector and the environmental sector, everybody, is behind closed doors and in the pub going, oh my god, we are fucked. And nobody would say it. So we made this huge, huge banner to explain that. The oceans we know are acidifying and rising. There's a village in Wales that has begun to plan its decommissioning by 2025 because people won't be able to live there anymore. Island states have described our climate negotiations as the equivalent of signing a suicide pact. Air pollution, the World Health Organization says that 7 million people die every single year because they're breathing toxic air. Nearly 10,000 of those are in London and I've campaigned quite hard on that as well. We know that our food systems are fragile actually. They work just in time. Our food in the UK comes from all over the world. We import over 50% of what we eat. The major breadbasket regions of the world are at increased risk of extreme weather events which will cut people's crop yields down and also grain yields will drop while the temperature goes up. The centre of continents warms much quicker than the global average. That's where those breadbaskets are. So for sure we're looking at a future agricultural crisis as far as I can see the evidence. In the UK we've got these horrendous floods. People losing their homes, losing everything. I know people in Yorkshire still haven't been paid out from their insurance from major flooding that happened eight years ago. The insurance industry are pulling in policies from people in Australia, in California. Those fires are blazing as we speak. The UK rail networks are unfit for the future in terms of climate change. The bosses have started to speak out about that. Heatwaves are going to become more frequent and more long running. So we know that we're facing this grave danger. So why exactly are we not taking it quite as seriously as we ought to? So in Extinction Rebellion we have these three core demands. You might know them already. The first one is tell the truth and I think for everybody to tell the truth and for the government to tell the truth, but certainly for us to tell it to ourselves. Because we've got to face up to reality in order to be able to deal with this and the converging crises. That's why we called the movement Extinction Rebellion because it's not just about talking about climate breakdown. It's as many many other problems. The second demand is act now. So we're demanding that we reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2025, reverse biodiversity loss, reversing consistent policies with that. And again, on a personal level act now is about being embodied. It's about taking action. And I think for me this is about courage and courage is like open hearted. It's vulnerable. It's not just being brave and putting on a stern face and going out and taking it. It's actually for me, it's very much about being tender with yourself and with each other. And we launched with this saying tell the truth and then act as if the truth is real. So these two things come together. And the third demand is for a citizens assembly to hear more from somebody from the Sortition Foundation later about this. So it's about reinvigorating our democratic process and recognising that politics is not working for us. We've had 30 years of alarm bells ringing and everything's just got worse. Emissions in fact have gone up 60% in 30 years after we were told to reduce them then. So what is politically possible is not really of interest to us anymore. There's something that we need to get done about that and for that we need a system change. And we certainly feel, I think a lot of us at Extinction Rebellion that we're at our choice point in humanities history where certainly in this country we can either choose to have more democracy or we can choose to have less. But I don't think we can just carry on business as usual. So Extinction Rebellion came out of this movement called Rising Up. It was a group of decentralised network of activists working to iteratively test out tactics of civil disobedience, looking really at the virtue of disobedience and mass participation being a key factor. I've spoken to lots of people that do direct action and it's the mass participation part that comes along with non-violence which is so powerful that we see in the examples that we've been inspired by. And we launched this with a talk and I think a lot of people think that Extinction Rebellion is something that's come in the age of the internet and it's like gone round on Facebook or Twitter or whatever. Not true. There's a talk called Headed for Extinction and What to Do About It. And that was drafted collaboratively by several people and then it toured the country before we launched. And probably I think it was given somewhere between 60 and 100 times I'm not sure. But it had a form that you filled out around the room people could sign up and it said three boxes to take so you want to help. Would you be willing to be arrested? Would you be willing to go to prison? And then after we'd done those talks and we'd gathered up those phone numbers and those emails and we started to form some small groups that's when we sort of launched it and so it's very much about being face-to-face with people. It's quite old-fashioned community kind of style organising and I think that's really kind of interesting in the age where everyone thinks that clicks matter because they don't really do anything. So the first thing, one of the first things that we did was we went and occupied the offices of UK Greenpeace and again that was something which with some environmentalists went down like a cup of cold sick and they were like, who do you think you are? You can't do that. And actually we took them a love letter and some cake and flowers and we had a very long meeting with some senior staff in there who the whole table was practically in tears talking about how we're losing the fight against climate change, right? We tested out different things like breaking bail terms. People breaking bail three, four times in a week going straight back to where they'd painted a government building and then going back and doing it again and going in court and going in court until you get sent on remand. Myself and a group of others went on hunger strike last summer for two weeks to campaign against the expansion of Heathrow Airport to the British Labour Party. All of this stuff pisses people off and particularly being like starving yourself for two weeks lots of people got in touch with me and said, Clare, I'm really worried about you and that's not cool and please can you stop and I'm a bit angry with you. And it's in that moment where I realised and I didn't know how this worked at the time I just said, yeah, I'll do it that actually that's what's useful about that is that those people get very upset and when they say I'm upset about this you say, right, cool, worry about that, please. Like, I'm fine but I'm this worried about this other thing every day all the time and the people that I thought were listening to me that were my friends or my family or whatever and I thought they heard what I was saying to them for the last, God knows how long that I've been saying that this is really serious they weren't actually hearing it and so when they woke up and saw me, you know, starving myself that really, it changed their perception of what I was doing and why and it was important. So we have built ourselves up a kind of self-organising system it's inspired by holocracy probably lots of you will know about that I didn't know anything about it when we started we're aimed to have a regenerative culture and for me part of that is about remaining detached from outcomes so you're much more able to be in love with process and do good work sometimes when you're not completely like hanging on for what comes and particularly in activism you know, you're so likely to lose, right that it's super not cool to be attached to the idea of winning because the odds are so stacked against you people tend to be more effective when they feel they're doing something because it's the right thing to do not because it's like they know that they're going to win we have a very multi-discipline team which is really cool to work with philosophers working with social scientists working with real scientists working with activists, long-term activists working with artists and this is a print table where we set up in the streets and this is on the bridge on Waterloo Bridge from April and people print on their own clothes with like wooden printing blocks so as an arts coordinator we've built this system where people can do this work together and we have a no merchandise movement which I think is super important we've said to people this is a do it together movement it's not a DIY aesthetic everything that we do is like freely available creatively to use it's all non-commercial and importantly we don't own that symbol that was designed by somebody else and we have to protect that because that's strictly for non-commercial use and we've been given the blessing of an anonymous artist to use that on-going but it needs looking after and for me that gives us a great a great sort of thing to work around in terms of having this sort of like collaborative set of assets to start out with which we have to see as like commons that they're not, you know, we don't own them but they do need taken care of so there's this thing you might know, I only read about it quite relatively recently called the Jevons Paradox and I'm guessing a lot of you work in sustainability and learning about this really like opened my eyes to something because it's an efficiency paradox and this 18th century economist recognised that when we make an efficiency saving at that time using coal to power stuff that that efficiency saving results in you using more coal not less and I thought back about like working on sustainability and how people often begin that work with efficiency saving and I thought you know what like we don't even know what questions to ask so of course we don't find all the right answers very easily and one of the words that we've printed on people's clothes again and again is humility and talking to people about what that actually means and for me there's something about using all of the stuff that we've got in silos, science all of the things that we think that are necessary to combat these issues around diversity loss, climate change these are like we think they're scientific things that we need to investigate but until we get like different types of people together to work on this stuff then we're not asking the right questions, we're not finding the right place to begin and so I guess what we definitely need to do is to come together and admit to ourselves that we know what's happening well enough we don't need any more scientific reports to tell us that stuff and we kind of know what's needed to begin to do the work and we also know that we need grief and we also know that we need love and I think we also know that we need to defeat cynicism somehow and to lift up our consciousness together and so in this sort of moment where we're engaged in a slow car crash together in a like long tragedy if you were I guess if you were personally going to let go of false hope and let go of denial and really face up to the reality of what's happening and think about the first next thing that you can do that you know you might be able to do but you're not doing what is that thing in being in service to life itself and I just want to give you like one or two minutes if you look at the person next to you and just say something that you could be doing that you're not doing that you know really and have a little just one to two minutes just very quickly
