Climate Change is the defining issue of our time and we are at a defining moment.
The UN warns even a 1.5°C rise above pre-industrial temperatures will require rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented change in our use of land, energy, industry, buildings, transport, and cities.
What would a 1.5°C increase in global temperature mean for the West Midlands? What impact will it have on where we live, what we eat, how we work and how we travel? What do we need to do now to live this change? And who’s listening?
Please join us to explore these local and global challenges in a special event held in collaboration with Climate Change Solutions and the RSA Sustainability Network. Book your place now.

It seems that the ways to tackle climate change are many, and many of them seem simple enough to implement. Getting a large fraction of 7 billion people to accept, or even embrace such necessary change seems to be our biggest challenge.
If we are serious about this topic we should be able to attend this conference by video conference. How many "carbon miles" are going to be burnt up and emitted into the atmosphere to discuss the problem. It would also allow a greater reach to more distant potential participants.
As a facilitator of sustainable leadership development I am keen to come along with others in our Create Seven community. I can't see where to book a place? Thanks Jill
As CEO of a reforestation charity, I am absolutely thrilled to see this in the calendar. I look forward to meeting up with like minded folks and hopefully, nudging a few solutions further forward.
