Climate change continues to be one of the most pressing issues facing the world today and a new documentary has enlisted leading names in popular culture, the arts, science and more for a thought-provoking discussion on how to create much-needed change.
Produced by cultural organisation Liberatum and directed by founder Pablo Ganguli and creative director Tomas Auksas, In This Climate has brought together such diverse figures as TV naturalist Sir David Attenborough, fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood, actor Mark Ruffalo, singer Cher and philosopher Noam Chomsky, alongside experts including Christiana Figueres, the former head of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, to highlight the cause.
