The Annual Cambridge Climate Lecture Series Launches in 2019 with the theme "Climate Change: Can we Fix It?
The world's leading climate scientists warned this year that we only have 12 years left for global warming to be kept to a maximum of 1.5C, beyond which risks of droughts, floods, extreme heat and poverty will significantly worsen for hundreds of millions of people worldwide. However, the current levels of commitments bring the course of the world to a disastrous 3C warming. While time and carbon budgets are running out, the question is "Can we fix Climate Change?".
The 2019 Cambridge Climate Lecture Series is back with the theme "Climate Change: can we fix it?". As in previous years the aim of the Series is to dramatically increase the level of public interest and engagement on the topic of climate change.
The lecture format will feature guest speakers who will each present their take on a particular aspect of climate change within 2019's theme.
Apart from an audience in Cambridge, many more people throughout the world can join via live-streaming. There will be opportunities for both local and online audiences to ask questions, please participate on social media using #CCLS2018.
