Your chance to quiz FT writers about climate change

Young people have been vocal in calling for more action to fight climate change. Now they have the chance to quiz top FT writers and experts about this important topic at a free online event.

Hosted by FT Schools, the event will be live streamed on Tuesday March 1 between 12 noon and 2pm UK time.

Clive Cookson, the FT’s science editor, will explore what the climate could be like when today’s 18-year-olds enter old age.

Tim Harford, the FT columnist better known as the Undercover Economist, will consider how economics could solve the climate crisis.

Claer Barrett, the FT’s consumer editor, and Mary McDougall of the Investors’ Chronicle will question what ESG really means, and if it’s possible to invest in saving the planet.

And Emiliya Mychasuk, the FT’s climate editor, and columnist Gideon Rachman will explore the links between climate change and geopolitics.

The event can be watched live or on demand, just visit FT.com/climateevent to register your free place.

Through the FT Schools initiative, the Financial Times offers free online subscriptions to students aged 16-19, their teachers and schools around the world, and to colleges of further education in the UK. We believe reading the FT will help in study, essay writing, exams and broadening knowledge to improve performance in interviews for further study and provide guidance on employment.

Look out for our Climate Change for Schools special report in FT Weekend on Saturday 19 March packed with stories, graphics and tips on how young people can make an impact.
