Impossible Climate: Safe Climate Restoration Under the Microscope

Impossible Climate: Safe Climate Restoration Under the Microscope

Australian-German Climate & Energy College and Breakthrough
Wednesday, 4 November 2015 - 6:00pm to 8:30pm
Panel Discussion

Advocacy for the restoration of a safe climate calls for solutions that the world does not currently possess. The central question remains ‘is safe climate restoration possible and, if not, what level of action is now morally defensible and yet practically achievable?’ Join the College and Breakthrough for this special forum to examine and critique the recently published discussion paper StrikingTargets with author Philip Sutton.

Panel includes:

Ben Courtice, Friends of the Earth Climate Campaigner

Andrea Bunting, Climate Activist, Researcher & Writer

Mark Wakeham, CEO Environment Victoria

David Spratt, Climate Policy Analyst

Adrian Whitehead, Save The Planet Campaign Manager
