INTERNATIONAL
CLIMATE CONFERENCE
Saturday May 12th and Sunday May 13th
At the London School of Economics, Houghton Streeet, London WC2
Organised in partnership by the Campaign against Climate Change,
the London School of Economics and LSE's Centre for
Environmental Policy and Governance.
The Conference was a great success - providing an amazing range of high quality seminars and workshops for those attending. A broad range of views, and differing political perspectives was provided at the Saturday Plenary whilst the International Plenary on the Sunday ( a new departure since last year's Conference), with its line up of 12 fantastic speakers from all around the globe - was a real treat, a unique eye-opener of an experience not to be missed : you simply could not come away from it without having a different and much deeper perspective on what climate change really means for people all round the world.
The Saturday Planary : Mark Lynas speaking, Norman Baker MP, Cllr Rania Khan, Jean lambert MEP, Isa Fremuaux, George Marshall, Agnes de Rooij, Phil Thornhill, l to r seated.
