The Guardian’s climate assembly panel welcomes Feargal Sharkey to the stage.

The Guardian’s climate assembly with George Monbiot and special guests

What are the forces driving the pushback against a greener world? How have policies and actions to protect the climate been so badly weaponised? And what can we do to counter this new kind of opposition to climate action?

On Tuesday 16 September, our panel of experts joined the event to answer these questions.
