Watch video of Jeremy Grantham as he gives a passionate speech about the climate crisis.
Speaking at the 2019 Higher Education Climate Leadership Summit, Grantham discusses how little people care about climate change. Further, he suggests that the people at the summit don’t care either.
Because of this apathy Grantham sees his charitable contributions to climate change as a ‘necessary defence action for my children, grandchildren and their descendants’.
