Weekend Rewind: Our Conversation with Nicola Sturgeon

<p dir="ltr">This week in a surprise move, the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, <a href= "https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-64647907">announced her resignation</a>. So in light of this profoundly ego-less moment of leadership, we revisit a stirring conversation we had with her in 2021 when we visited the First Minister at her residence in Edinburgh during the TED Countdown Conference.</p> <p dir="ltr">Our conversation surrounded this new vision she had brought forth into the world for small countries collaborating on climate action, detailed in the instantly-popular TED Talk she had just delivered earlier that day (immediately followed by a standing ovation). Tom said, “it was one of the best I’ve ever seen.”</p> <p dir="ltr">This interview is part of a longer episode we published in 2021 titled, ‘<a href= "https://www.outrageandoptimism.org/episodes/small-countries-big-vision-nicola-sturgeon">Small Countries, Big Vision with Nicola Sturgeon</a>’.
