Join us on 14 February to be part of the solution! Together, let's transform awareness into action &amp; make a tangible impact on our planet.

Logan Hall

“Love Your Planet” is a groundbreaking collaboration between UCL, Climate Reality Project, and Climate Cafe. The event will discuss the outcomes of COP28 and why we have to transition faster than the international consensus. The day will focus on what businesses, policymakers, academics, and activists can do in the UK to accelerate the green transition. "Love Your Planet" will be a day of connections, insights, and action, uniting UCL's esteemed faculty, students, and guests with policy influencers, industry leaders, and civil society advocates. Together, we aim to illuminate decision-making processes with empirical research and expertise while inspiring the next generation of climate pioneers. <h3>Agenda</h3>9:00 - Registration opens with light refreshments 10.00-10:25 - Opening remarks with Al Gore video address and further remarks by:Michael Spence, UCL President and ProvostGeraint Rees, Vice Provost Research Innovation and Global Engagement, UCLVersha Jones, Climate Reality ProjectShooka Bidarian, Climate Reality Project 10.30-11.25 - COP28 OutcomesShooka Bidarian, Climate Reality ProjectMark Maslin, Pro Vice Provost Climate Crisis, UCLPriti Parikh, Professor of Infrastructure Engineering and International Development, UCLSimon Chin-Yee, Lecturer in International Development, UCLMark Watts, Director, C40 11.30-12.25- Role of Businesses in driving the Green TransitionErik Dalhuijsen, co-founder Transition CatalystMilan van der Meulen, Founder, SolyEleni Polychroniadou, Co-founder, SintaliBuffy Price, Co-founder Carbon ReSimon Heppner, co-founder Net Zero Now 12.30-13.30 - Break 13.30-14.25 - Role of Policymakers in driving the Green TransitionShirley Rodrigues, Deputy Mayor of LondonRobbie McPherson, Senior Political Adviser at Uplift and Climate APPG LeadAnnabel Rice, Political Advisor, Green AllianceTone Langenge, Senior Policy Advisor, Climate &amp; Energy Policy, Tony Blair Institute Georgia Gould, leader, Camden Council 14.30- 14.55 - Fireside chat with Prof. Mark Maslin 15.00-15.55 - Role of Community in driving the Green Transition Louise Harris, Singer/Climate ActivistMary McHarg, UCL Student rep at COP28, Union Affairs Officer, UCL Student UnionMollie Palmer, Climate Reality Chapter, Warwick University Campus CorpsTori Tsui, Climate Activist 16.00-16.15 Session 6: Fireside chat with Jess Pepper 16.20-16.25 Closing remarks: CR - CR UK – UCLLisa Vanhala, PVP Climate Crisis, UCL 16.30-18.00 - Climate Cafe with light refreshments 18:00 - Event closes Our aim is to create an inclusive, intergenerational event fostering diverse discussions, celebrating our network, and igniting action for a swift transition to renewable energy while advocating for climate justice. <h3>Access profile:</h3>There is step free access into the Logan HallThis is a hybrid event so you can join the talks in-person or online via YouTube.For full venue access details please visit the <a href="https://www.accessable.co.uk/ucl/access-guides/institute-of-education-bedford-way-20-logan-hall" title="https://www.accessable.co.uk/ucl/access-guides/institute-of-education-bedford-way-20-logan-hall" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">accessable website</a>
