North London COP

Camden New Journal & Islington Tribune

Join us for north London's climate fest with some of the key thinkers shaping the climate debate

Conway Hall

If there is one thing this last year has shown us, it is that we cannot rely on the government to bring a halt to climate change.At present, it is depressingly clear the top-down institutions of government are failing to tackle the climate crisis. We believe only a series of widespread, collective, grassroots movements have the power to force real change.That&#x27;s why the Camden New Journal and Islington Tribune are organising a special climate summit in collaboration with Conway Hall and Islington Climate Centre on SATURDAY NOVEMBER 12 at Conway Hall in Holborn – our very own North London COP.We believe local newspapers have a real, tangible role in mobilising this kind of collective action, in facilitating debates and discussions and pushing a grassroots effort to tackle the defining challenge of our age.W﻿e are hosting a series of debates and panel discussions along with stalls and performances. Food will be available from Conway Hall&#x27;s café all day.P﻿ROGRAMME OF TALKS:<ul><li>What role does the media play in addressing the climate crisis?
