After the High Vis: Where Now for Climate Activism?

As protest faces growing resistance, climate activism is evolving. Explore how we build power, resilience, and radical hope in a time of retreat.

Just Stop Oil has hung up the high vis. Greenpeace is in a precarious position. The UK government is rolling back on climate commitments. How do we keep momentum, build resilience, and imagine bold, collective futures in a time of retreat?

As traditional protest tactics face legal crackdowns and political backlash, climate activism is entering a new phase. Disruption still matters, but so do community power, creative resistance, and deep alliances with labour, land, and justice movements.

Join Mikaela Loach, climate activist and author of ‘It’s Not that Radical: Climate Action to Transform our World’ and Will McCallum, co-Executive Director of Greenpeace in conversation with former Green Party Leader and activist Caroline Lucas to reflect, reconnect, and rethink what climate action can be.
