Dialogue with Andri Snaer Magnason, writer from Iceland and author of 'On Time and Water'
Event description
Andri Snær Magnason is an Icelandic writer, documentary film director and one of the world’s most important voices on our relationship with Nature.
Andri has been active in the fight to preserve the highlands of Iceland and raise awareness about our fast-changing climate.
In 2019, millions of people shared his “Letter to the Future” eulogy, placed on a monument next to the Okjökull glacier, the first Icelandic glacier lost to climate change:
“Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier.
In the next 200 years, all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path.
This monument acknowledges that we know what is happening and what needs to be done.
Only you know if we did it.”
Andri ran for President of Iceland in 2016 on environmental issues.
Join with us on Monday in dialogue with Andri.
