The City of Malibu Presents Bill McKibben at Malibu Library Speaker Series

City of Malibu Hosts Earth Day Speaker Event Featuring Bill McKibben at Malibu Library Speaker Series, April 22

The City of Malibu and LA County Library, in partnership with Pepperdine University, invite the community to a special Earth Month edition of the Malibu Library Speaker Series on Earth Day, April 22, at 5:00 PM, featuring author and journalist Bill McKibben.

One of the world’s leading climate change advocates, McKibben is a recipient of the Right Livelihood Prize and the author of The End of Nature, the first book to present climate change to a general audience, which has been translated into 24 languages. He has written extensively on the environment, including The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon and the New York Times bestseller Falter, which explores both the climate crisis and the broader challenges posed by emerging technologies.

Through his talks, McKibben offers practical and hopeful approaches to climate action, encouraging collective efforts such as fossil fuel divestment and the expansion of renewable energy. His storytelling highlights communities around the world working toward a more sustainable and just future.

This event is part of the City of Malibu’s Earth Month programming and Pepperdine University’s Climate Calling 2026 conference, presented through the W. David Baird Distinguished Lecture Series and the Center for Sustainability.

The event will take place at Elkins Auditorium at Pepperdine University, 2425 Pacific Coast Highway. Admission is free, and no RSVPs are required.
