The adventure specialist will shut its global HQ in Melbourne for the day so staff can join the movement. Intrepid’s UK base will remain open, but staff are free to attend and support Climate Strike activities if they wish.
In an open letter, Intrepid chief executive James Thornton said the world had reached a “pivotal moment” in the fight against climate change, adding “definitive action” to tackle the global climate crisis was critical.
“Children around the world have been leading the way through the Climate Strike movement, and now is the time for adults – and business leaders – to stand up and support the call for immediate action,” said Thornton.
