It feels like we're on the right track - globally, we're taking meaningful action to curb the causes and effects of man-made climate change, but will it be enough?

The general consensus is that we're well past the point of turning things around, and our future holds:

● Sea levels rising by up to 2.5m ,
● Global temperatures continuing to climb, and
● Longer, more intense weather events.

That's not to say it's all doom and gloom, though!

The state of play is one of optimism, with more people demanding change and governments heeding the call.

But in our scramble to make amends with the environment, we're not making the best decisions.

So much emphasis has been placed on reaching Net Zero, but it should be a milestone towards greater, more sustained change, not the ultimate goal.

This ecological posturing has clouded our planning...

Neither Australia or America have pledges consistent with keeping warming below the 1.5°C danger level.

Add to that the potential over-reliance on dubious measures (like untested carbon capture) and practices (including continued support for new fossil fuel infrastructure) and you start to see holes in their plans.

So then, what should we be doing? Professor Michael Mann has the answers.

Michael's work has been revolutionary in elevating our understanding of global temperatures historically, and where we might be headed next.

He pioneered the statistical work that led to the creation of the now-famous Hockey Stick Graph, authored more than 200 peer-reviewed publications, and has been awarded numerous commendations for his efforts. Currently, he's directing the University of Pennsylvania's new centre for Science, Sustainability & the Media.

At this live event, Michael will take you through what science says needs to be done, from high-level actions that global powers and corporations must adopt, to lower-level ones that we as individuals can work into our daily lives.

How we got here isn’t a mystery. Climate change was an inconvenient truth that every developed nation largely ignored until it was too late.

But, luckily, what we do from here is no mystery either.

Don't be disheartened - we're on the right track. Now it's about laying a path towards a better future. Come along to see what it looks like.
