The future of our planet depends on humanity’s relationship with other animals. From mitigating the worst effects of climate change to preventing another global pandemic, we need to urgently address animal rights and embrace a more plant-based, environmentally conscious future if we are to survive and thrive as a species.

In 1975, Peter Singer's book Animal Liberation proved that philosophy could profoundly change the way the world thinks about animal rights. Forty years later, The Most Good You Can Do inspired another, hugely influential movement, the Effective Altruists, whose determination to alleviate extreme poverty has shown, once again, the power of ideas to challenge even the most pessimistic status quo.

Singer will reflect on the future of humans and animals in the aftermath of the global pandemic. Join this free talk live-streamed from Melbourne, Australia, on June 30th.
