Avi Lewis is a filmmaker, climate activist, and UBC professor.

"With ever-greater clarity over the course of my career, the climate emergency has emerged as the defining crisis of our time.

"It is rooted in, and exacerbated by the other overlapping disasters we face: the pandemic, white supremacy, colonialism and a dangerously unequal global economy. I am passionate about putting my work at the service of others, to help them understand and confront these intersecting crises."
