  • Day and time: Thursday 15:00 - 16:15
    Weekly
  • Length of course: 1 term. Autumn (8 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 50
  • Start date: 17 October 2024
  • Description:

    The course will look at all aspects of Climate Change - the history, human influence on climate, related challenges like bio-diversity loss etc, the psychology behind inaction, and finally what we can do so that we, our children and grandchildren can live sustainably on a habitable planet, wherever possible retaining the benefits of modern life. If we don't, our generation will live in infamy - the first to know, yet look away. The course (a) covers the urgency of the issue and the need for change, and (b) provides resources to enable you to effect change - things like investing better, life style and engaging others. IMPORTANT: HOMEWORK! Attendees will receive material each week in advance, to read before attending, and some questions to muse upon (allow 1 hour). Each session will then consist of a brief pass through that material, followed by Q&A/discussion.

  • Format: Brief presentation of material provided in advance, followed by Q&A/discussion

  • Organiser: Alastair Breward
  • I am an amateur, but it seems we amateur inhabitants are the crucial actors in this slow-burn existential crisis - there is no Planet B.
