The global climate crisis and other pressures on planetary ecology have become a major concern for humanity. Climate change threatens to trap hundreds of millions of people in dire poverty and widen the gap in an already deeply divided economy. However, a new generation of activists are offering inspiration in a seemingly hopeless situation. This discussion is organised within the context of the three events on Global Ethics byProf. Richard Bellamy, and in collaboration with the Centre for Fundamental Rights. |
