Climate Change debate in the Abbey

Five eminent speakers with different backgrounds and experience have agreed to be on the panel for a debate on Climate Change, in Bath Abbey on Tuesday, 29th April, with the title: 'CLIMATE CHANGE: What is happening? What can we do? Can Bath become an eco city?'
The evening has been organised by Churches Together in Bath to give people of the city a chance to hear authoritative views on this, the most urgent issue of our lifetime. The speakers will summarise the present state of the climate change debate, and give their views about what organisations and individuals need to do to respond. In particular there will be discussion about how Bath can move towards being an ‘eco city’ following the example of ‘Transition Towns’ Bristol and Totnes, amongst many others.
Speakers will include Professor Anil Markandya of Bath University; Martin Palmer, Director of the Alliance of Religions and Conservation; ecological campaigner Andrew Pendleton, Climate Change Adviser, Christian Aid; and Sarah Pugh, working with ‘Transition Bristol’. The chairman will be Rev Roger Nunn, Executive Secretary of Churches Together in Bath.
The debate will be at 7.30pm, in Bath Abbey; entrance will be free, but there will be a retiring collection to meet expenses.
People from all walks of life and outlooks will be welcome, but particularly members of churches, and it is confidently hoped to fill the Abbey, as for the long-remembered debate on ‘Should we invade Iraq?’ in 2002.
