Beyond Copenhagen - positive steps for change, here, now
5th of Nov, 2009
When: Saturday 7 November, 2 - 4pm
Where: Upstairs, Yeronga Bowls Club, 11 Querrin St, Yeronga
The hopes of many people lie with the UN climate negotiations in Copenhagen this December
– however, even if an effective and immediate solution is not reached at Copenhagen, what alternatives exist?
This forum will explore local strategies for communities to make a real difference on climate change. Panellists will give examples of such local solutions from around the world and explore the viability of renewable energy sources and low-carbon economic alternatives to provide the jobs and energy that we need.
Panellists include Prof. Paul Meredith, a solar energy researcher; Peter Simpson from the Electrical Trades Union, Jessie Wells, Oxfam Australia, and Hannah Elvery, Friends of the Earth.

A free event, organised by Friends of the Earth Brisbane and Solidarity
