TEDxKingsCross 2021 was a countdown themed event looking at solutions to climate change. Tamsin Omond talks about power, justice, their tale of transition and why it matters so much when we're thinking about solving climate change.

In 2021 Tamsin stood for co-leadership of the Green Party of England and Wales. They are also active in queer uprising. They are a theatre maker and author of RUSH!
