Organized by Zarinah Agnew

Year after year the climate changes – not suddenly but achingly slowly. Despite the sloth of this catastrophe-train, we feel and talk as if it’s already too late. Why should that be? It’s because changing our energy infrastructure to be climate-smart takes decades. Can we change that pace and avert disaster? By considering the acceleration of energy technology, we find our priorities shifting: financing, software simulation tools, and collective action tools may be as important as efficient solar panels and electric cars. Can we address these challenges and solve climate change? Or will climate change solve us?

Join us for an evening of learning followed by a lively discussion! Doors at 8pm, talk begins at 8.30pm on the dot. Suggested donation is $5. We provide free in house childcare at all our events, drop us a line if you would like to make use of this service :)
