Event details
Dr. Rupert Read, now Co-Director of the Climate Majority Project, speaks about how a pivot to a strategy based in climate adaptation is not only now unavoidable but also has enormous co-benefits, for decarbonisation.
At a moment of desolation for the climate community and in fact for everyone who cares about the future of life on Earth, Read will speak about the incredible potential, to energise and game-change, of centring adaptation.
