Are you worried about the apparent lack of urgency in
tackling global warming?
Do you know who is with us and who is against
us?
Preparations for the latest UN climate
change conference (COP21) in Paris this December are well under
way. Will there be a deal to prevent the most damaging impacts of
climate change?
On Thursday 24th September
Ian Bateman will give a talk about the background to the conference
in Paris in December and the prospects for a deal.
Local speakers will outline some of
the campaigning and projects taking place in Exeter over the autumn
to promote a low carbon city and a positive UK approach to reducing
and adapting to climate change, including the Alternatiba Festival
on November 21st demonstrating low carbon
alternatives, and the local Divestment Campaign from fossil
fuels.
Ian Bateman, former Climate Change Officer at Devon County
Council, is in a good position to put things into perspective.
He has offered to give us a overview of the climate change
story, from the early days up to this year's multi-national
conference in Paris (December 2015) and beyond.
"I've heard his
presentation before and I think it's one of the best of it's
kind."
Come and find out what chance the world has of
putting up a fight!
