Abstract

The planet is in ecological crisis: we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction event this planet has experienced. Scientists believe we may have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown. This is an unprecedented global emergency.

In this public talk, Dr Conor McHugh of Extinction Rebellion will discuss what science tells us about where our planet is heading and offer solutions through the study of social movements.

Everyone is welcome and there will be time to ask questions afterwards. You can also find out how to get involved with Extinction Rebellion Southampton if you are not already a member. The talk and Q&A will run from 7:30-9pm, but you can arrive from 7pm and stay until 10pm.
