Oriel Environment Group Michaelmas 2025 — In Conversation with George Monbiot

Climate Breakdown and Political Division: Navigating Polarisation with George Monbiot

Join Professor Jan Rosenow (Jackson Senior Research Fellow, Oriel College) for a discussion with acclaimed investigative journalist and environmental campaigner George Monbiot at Oriel College on 21 November, 3.30-4.30pm.

George Monbiot is a fierce and uncompromising voice in the climate debate. He will delve into the systemic failures and dangerous narratives that are undermining urgent environmental action. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with one of the world’s most provocative thinkers on the environmental emergency, and explore the necessary political and social transformations required for a habitable future. The conversation will address the challenge of polarisation and seek a path forward: in the face of the interconnected climate and biodiversity crises, where does Monbiot find hope, and what immediate actions are most critical for society to take right now?
