Can we Make Climate Great Again?
Amnesty International

Ideas | Thurs 17th Sept | 7-8.30pm

(Doors open 6.30pm)

Had a sweltering summer? Climate change may be front of mind, albeit temporarily. But authorities (International, regional & national) are not acting urgently or comprehensively enough.

We are already +1.5°c warmer, with +2°c expected by the end of this century. This is a planetary and human rights catastrophe.

Before your attention shifts, get updated on the latest in the transition away from fossil fuels, from actors at the coal-face of climate justice.
