Event: Acting on Climate Change
Taking Soundings Leeds | 25.04.2009 15:15 | Climate Chaos | Social Struggles
Climate Change is the challenge of our lifetime. While the rhetoric of government policy addresses the urgency to act on Climate Change, many policy decisions undermine the transformations needed.
From air-travel expansion to the renaissance of coal powered energy production, government decisions driven by powerful lobbies bring us closer to climate chaos. Our three speakers will assess ways of political action and lobbying that address the failure of government policy and offer stepping stones to transition.
