As the impacts of climate change are being felt more acutely, it is more important than ever to better understand likely future impacts and, more importantly, what we can do as individuals and local communities to mitigate and adapt. Please come along to discuss key issues with a panel of experts working on climate related issues in different professional spheres and meet like-minded people in your local community.
