How to stop climate change

Grantham Centre for Sustainable Futures (UoS)

This event is a part of the Festival of Debate 2024.

Lecture Theatre 2, The Diamond

If climate warming continues, our region will change completely, forever. Our wildlife may die out, our rivers could dry up, and even the trees, hedges and grasses might be gone, replaced by a more arid countryside. Droughts and flooding will become more common as extreme weather events increase, if our soil can't respond.What is being done to protect the beautiful and biodiverse landscape of South Yorkshire? What can ordinary people in our region do about the climate crisis?Chair of event: Richard Sulley - Senior Research Fellow in Sustainability Policy, Grantham Centre for Sustainable FuturesSpeakers:Rachael Rothman - Director of South Yorkshire Sustainability Centre and Co-Director of Grantham Centre for Sustainable FuturesTim Newton - Sustainability Manager for the Natural Environment at Doncaster CouncilAlban Krashi - Rights of Nature Advocate - The River Dôn ProjectJohn Miller - Senior Lecturer in Nineteenth-Century Literature, School of English, University of Sheffield; President of the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE) and Co-Director of Sheffield Animal Studies Research Centre (ShARC)Sara John - Sustainability Officer, South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined AuthorityThis event is being organised together with the <a href="https://www.sysustainabilitycentre.org/" title="https://www.sysustainabilitycentre.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">South Yorkshire Sustainability Centre</a>.The event is open to everyone - TUoS staff, students and also the general public.If you tweet about the event, please use the Grantham Centre handle @granthamcsf and the SYSC handle @SouthYorks_SC.The event is a part of the <a href="https://festivalofdebate.com/" title="https://festivalofdebate.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Festival of Debate 2024</a>.
