Floods and Forest Fires: Living the Climate Crisis
Labour Energy Forum

Add to calendar


Across the world people are waking up to the human costs of the climate crisis and its colonial dimensions. From devastating floods in Bangladesh, to the raging wildfires across the globe this summer - the need for climate action is now. Labour is taking bold steps towards Climate Justice such as opposing fracking in our backyard - but British corporations are still imposing dangerous fracking projects abroad supported by the Tory government. Join a panel of grassroots activists to discuss how we move from the climate crisis to Climate Justice.
