National Friends of the Earth Campaigners, Guy Shrubsole (Climate and Energy) and Rachel Kennerley (Climate Security) and Professor of Climate Science and Society Dominic Kniveton (Uni Sussex) will lead a focused look at the current climate-change context and the structure, issues, tensions and likely outcomes of the upcoming Climate-talks in Paris.

Followed by an extended Q&A session, drinks and networking.

Brighton Climate Action Network (BrightonCAN!)  launched in September 2015. Our aim is to bring together individuals and organisations in Brighton and the surrounds who are acting on climate change, and to create a broad community response to the irrefutable evidence of rapid global warming and the failure of our political leaders to take the necessary measures to avoid catastrophic and irreversible climate chaos.

Over the next few weeks we are concentrating our efforts on the ´Time to Act Week´ of events, Time To Cycle, the People’s March for Climate Justice and Jobs in London on 29th November and the mass mobilisation in Paris on 12 December. We want to mobilise as much support as possible for the many events taking place ahead of and during the crucial UN climate talks in Paris in early December.

Please explore the BrightonCAN! website and follow the links to find out what you can do to support, lobby or participate in ´Time to Act Week´ and COP21 Paris-talks actions and events.
