RSA Albert Medal Address I Courage in climate leadership I Christiana Figueres I RSA REPLAY

Christiana Figueres receives the RSA Albert Medal, awarded annually to honour outstanding, regenerative and impactful innovation that is enabling people, places and the planet to flourish in harmony.  
Christiana Figueres is an internationally recognised leader on global climate change, credited with forging a new brand of collaborative diplomacy that led to the historic Paris Agreement of 2015.
In her courageous determination to lead the process to a universally agreed regulatory framework, she brought together national and subnational governments, corporations and activists, financial institutions, and communities of faith, think tanks and technology providers, NGOs and parliamentarians, to jointly deliver the unprecedented climate change agreement.
At the RSA, RSA Chief Executive Andy Haldane will present Christiana Figueres with the 2023 RSA Albert Medal in recognition of the leadership and creativity she has shown in the areas of climate and nature action, and in her award address, she will tell us about her ongoing commitment to the acceleration of the global response to climate change.

She is an inspiration and has achieved far more than the vast majority of us in raising awareness and bringing people together around collaborative change. It is not her fault that the fossil fuel industry and their dependant patriarchy are putting short term gain ahead of our future. She embodies the courage that this medal represents.

This woman achieved absolutely nothing, and just shows how flawed and pointless the UNFCCC is. Utopianism from this person was pointless in the face of the value action gap and the reality of international relations. Why she keeps winning accolades for doing nothing beats me.
