Climate Change Action Week

 

A new green awareness week has also been launched in recent years – Climate Change Action Week, which focuses exclusively on climate change, the most imminent and alarming example of the building global ecological crisis. Beginning life as a People and Planet Society campaign in 2005, Climate Change Awareness Week (now Climate Change Action Week) has now begun an official part of the LSESU calendar. This year, People and Planet and the Mayor of London will be championing Climate Change Action Week – an idea that originated in LSE – across the capital

 

Speaker at the inaugural SU Climate Change Awareness Week 2006 included an audience of 200 people watching Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth and talks from Michael Meacher MP (Labour), Dr. Derek Wall (Green Party), Aubrey Meyer (pioneer of the Contraction and Convergence Model), Andrew Simms (New Economics Foundation) and Dr. Simon Dietz (LSE academic involved with the Stern Review on Climate Change). See the Climate Change Awareness Week 2006 webpage for more.
