To create The Climate Book, Thunberg called on the wisdom of over 100 experts, including scientists, artists, Indigenous leaders and those living on the frontline of climate change, to tell the truth about our changing world. Thunberg joins us for a special event at the Edinburgh Playhouse to outline how collective action – and hope – will serve us in the urgent fight for our planet's welfare.
This unique event will be chaired by Gemma Cairney and is sponsored by the Open University in Scotland and presented in association with Edinburgh International Book Festival.
Nobody speaks truth to power quite like Greta Thunberg: her words and actions have given hope to countless young activists- Nick Barley, Director of Edinburgh International Book Festival
It’s Not Too Late to Change the World will be part of a climate-focussed strand of events at this year’s Edinburgh International Book Festival.
Edinburgh Playhouse
Although designed as a variety theatre, the Edinburgh Playhouse opened in 1929 as Scotland’s second largest cinema. It was hugely successful and remained so until the downturn in cinema attendance in the early 70s. When it closed in November 1973, the building was at risk of demolition, but following several years of public ‘save the Playhouse’ campaigns it was eventually saved. It reopened in 1980 as the fully functional theatre it was always intended to be. Since then, it has hosted some of the world's biggest music and stand-up comedy acts including, Elton John, The Who, Nick Cave, Kevin Bridges and Tim Minchin and international hit musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera, We Will Rock You, Wicked, Matilda and Disney’s The Lion King.
