Talk – COP17: Tipping point for the international climate talks (Reading)

Thursday 24th November 7.30pm

COP17: Tipping point for the international climate talks.
The Kyoto Protocol ends in 2012. The UN climate talks in Durban starting late November 2011 could be our last chance to save the current international climate deal. Industrialised countries are pushing to replace it with a voluntary system for reduction of emissions. A new fund to deliver finance needed by countries affected by climate change is in danger of being given to the World Bank for loans instead of grants or reparations.

Sarah Reader, climate justice campaigner for World Development Movement, will update us on the recent G20 talks and the upcoming UN climate talks and suggest actions we can take. She will be joined by activist John Halladay of Greenpeace.

Venue: RISC 35-39 London St, Reading RG1 4PS
Free event.
