The Lancaster Environment Lecture 2025 – Bella Lack: Children of the Anthropocene
By Lancaster Litfest
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 is a conservationist and environmental activist. She is the presenter of the documentary Animal, directed by Cyril Dion and filmed with Jane Goodall. She is also the author of The Children of the Anthropocene, published by Penguin. She co-founded Reserva Youth Land Trust to fundraise for and conserve areas of land, with projects in Ecuador, Colombia and Panama. She especially loves using the power of storytelling to engage people in solutions, and so is an aspiring journalist
