The Independent's Climate 100 event is now just over one week away — reserve your place now to watch it online for free.

This landmark celebration honouring those on the frontlines of the climate crisis will be broadcast live from New York on 25 September to mark the publication of The Independent's inaugural Climate 100 List.

Our speakers include former UK Prime Minister Theresa May; activist and founder of Black Girl Environmentalist Wawa Gatheru; award-winning author John Vaillant; and The Independent's chief international correspondent, Bel Trew.

The keynote address will be given by Theresa May, the 76th prime minister of the United Kingdom and the second woman ever to hold the office. Her premiership marked the culmination of 21 years' continuous service on the front bench.

During her time in Downing Street, May introduced legislation to end the UK's contribution to global warming entirely – making the UK the first G7 country to legislate for net zero emissions. She also oversaw the publication of the Clean Growth Strategy and the decision to end unabated coal-fired electricity generation in the UK.

She served as the Member of Parliament for Maidenhead for more than 27 years, standing down earlier this year. She continues to undertake philanthropic and campaigning work around the world and was recently appointed to the House of Lords.

The event will be hosted on Zoom and starts at 2pm EST (11am PST or 7pm BST) on Wednesday 25 September. You need to book a place in order to access the stream.
