ickets for an occasion that includes local weather activist Greta Thunberg on the Edinburgh International Book Festival bought out in lower than 24 hours, organisers have stated.
Ms Thunberg will participate within the It’s Not Too Late To Change The World occasion on the Edinburgh Playhouse on August 13, the place she is going to give a speech and have an in-depth dialogue about her local weather change activism.
Due to the demand, the occasion will now be livestreamed so audiences can watch from anyplace on this planet, with the transfer sponsored by the Open University in Scotland.
Book pageant director Nick Barley stated: “When Greta Thunberg’s event with Gemma Cairney sells out in less than a day, it’s clear that audiences are keen to play an active part in the climate conversation.
“That’s why I’m so pleased we can also livestream the event. I am incredibly grateful to the Open University for allowing us to open this event up to even more people from all over the world.”
Susan Stewart, director on the Open University in Scotland, stated: “The book festival’s approach to opening up access to books, literature and current debate complements our mission at the Open University to be open to people, places, methods and ideas.
“We are also particularly dedicated to contributing to social and environmental justice by placing sustainability at the heart of our teaching, research and knowledge exchange.
“I am proud that the Open University in Scotland is sponsoring this important event with Greta Thunberg and delighted that it will now reach an even wider audience via the livestream.”
The occasion shall be Ms Thunberg’s first look in Scotland since she visited Glasgow in 2021 for Cop26.
