The Next Frontier in the Fight Against Climate Change

TEDxUCLWomen
• December 2018
Tessa Khan is a climate change and human rights lawyer and part of the Urgenda Foundation. In 2015, Urgenda won a historic Climate Case it had filed against the Dutch Government, forcing the Dutch State to take more measures against climate change. In her talk, Tessa lays out the role of national governments in the climate crisis, and the work of Urgenda and others in holding these governments accountable for their policies. Tessa ends by urging us to take our own action to achieve lasting political impact, by scrutinising governments and mobilising our voices to make climate change an issue that governments can no longer ignore.
