Keira follows fellow British actress Naomie Harris in partnering with the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>On her participation in the project, Keira comments, \u201cI want to speak out in support of Extinction Rebellion. Lending my voice to the most urgent issue of our time feels like the right way for me to take a stand, in the hope that we can leave a world worth living in for our children.\u201d She adds, \u201cClimate change and the ecological crisis are two sides of the same problem. This animation explains the climate change aspect in a no-nonsense way &#8211; though the message is horrifying to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ps-rl\"><\/div>\n<p><em>For more information visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/extinctionrebellion.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">extinctionrebellion.uk<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo: Supplied<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28819,"featured_media":3341,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[1240],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Why Keira Knightley Thinks We Should Panic About The Climate Crisis - Grazia Middle East<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/why-keira-knightley-thinks-we-should-panic-about-the-climate-crisis\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Why Keira Knightley Thinks We Should Panic About The Climate Crisis\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As part of a special two-part video series, Extinction Rebellion has relaunched a short animated film entitled\u00a0Climate Crisis, and Why We Should Panic.
