Panel: Climate Change and our future – Jan 22

JANUARY 22 @ 7:00 pm

SFU Woodward’s Goldcorp Theatre

When picture the future what do you see? A world bursting with human potential, and the technology that liberates it? Or one defined by hard limits to growth, and the rural ideals of earlier generations? Each response to the biggest ecological challenge in human history, climate change, contains glimpses into an uncertain future.

Come learn how four of Vancouver’s leading thinkers on environmental change see that future unfolding: and why global warming is already remaking our technology, our business models, our political discourse and our relationship to nature – indeed, our entire culture.
