Children of the Anthropocene
In partnership with Lancaster University, Litfest is delighted to welcome leading environmental campaigner and author Bella Lack to give the 2025 Lancaster Environment Lecture.
‘What’s the point in profit on a dead planet?’ - Bella Lack, Guardian interview, August 2022
Drawing on her book Children of the Anthropocene, Bella Lack recounts urgent stories of the lives of diverse young people on the frontlines of the environmental crisis around the world, and shows how, across the planet, the futures of young people hang in the balance as they face the harsh realities of the environmental crisis. Advocating for the protection of both people and the planet, Bella restores the beating heart to global environmental issues, from air pollution, to deforestation and over-consumption by telling the stories of those most directly affected – the children of the Anthropocene.
Bella Lack (b. 2003) is a conservationist and environmental activist. She is an ambassador for the Born Free Foundation, STAE, RSPCA and the Jane Goodall Institute. She contributed to Animal, a feature-length documentary with primatologist Jane Goodall and has made a short documentary for BBC Three. She has shared the stage with Steve Backshall and Chris Packham and helped create A People’s Manifesto for Wildlife.
