I thought I would alert you to our debate this month. These debates are always thought-provoking and engaging – last year’s was broadcast by Radio 4 on New Year’s Eve evening, and aired again a week later. This year’s will similarly be broadcast shortly before Christmas and early in the New Year.
Earthwatch Debate: From Tsunami to Drought Thursday 19th November, 7.00pm – 9.00pm at the Royal Geographical Society, 1 Kensington Gore, London SW7 2AR
Chaired by award winning broadcaster Andrea Catherwood.
Our speakers:
Prof. Paul Leonard, environmental consultant
Dr Tom Le Quesne, WWF
Ian Neal, Excellent Development
Prof. Howard Wheater, Imperial College
A young member of the public.
Our panel:
John Burton, CEO, the World Land Trust
Rick Bauer, Oxfam
Mark Shearer, co-founder Project Dirt
Four experts will be joined by an enterprising member of the public to present solutions to the looming crisis of access to water for drinking and sanitation. Our speakers will then be interrogated by a ‘Dragon’s Den’ style panel before you, the audience, cast the deciding vote.
