Rupert Read, a philosophy professor and climate activist, discusses his transition from academia to activism and his involvement in Extinction Rebellion. Rupert discusses how the Climate Majority Project aims to mobilize people deeply concerned about the climate crisis, which should be all of us. He highlights examples of community climate action and the role of professions like insurance and law.

● Examples of community climate action include initiatives like iFarm, which focuses on food growing and community resilience.

● Many lawyers are working pro bono for climate protesters or suing fossil fuel companies in class action lawsuits.

● The business model of insurance is fundamentally threatened by ecological and climate deterioration.
