Responding to Climate Change: going beyond dangerous
Public lecture at the University of Leeds
Professor Kevin Anderson offered a stark assessment of the prospects for avoiding dangerous levels of climate change. An audience of well over a hundred, including students, academics, activists, businesspeople and policy makers, attended the lecture.
Richard Turton, Strategy Manager for Yorkshire Forward, said it was:
"An excellent lecture on the scale and immediacy of the challenge of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Professor Anderson's lively critique of the politics, emissions targets and scientific data encourages us to question the assumptions upon which policies and plans are being made and focuses attention on the need for early action to avoid the most damaging impacts of climate change."
