We are pleased to invite you to an informal seminar that will tackle some of the key issues at

stake as the world is gathering for climate negotiations towards COP21 in Paris later this year.

Kevin Anderson, professor at University of Manchester and Deputy Director of Tyndall

Centre, UK’s premier climate change research institution will challenge us all with his analysis

of the remaining carbon budget and its implications on emissions reduction trajectories and

need for radical transformation across all sectors of society.

Pat Mooney, Executive Director of ETC Group and Right Livelihood Award recipient 1985,

will expose how the Paris meeting risks locking us into risky, planetary-scale technological

‘false solutions’ such as geo-engineering,

Neth Daño, Asia Director of ETC Group, will reflect on the progress towards the

establishment of a global UN-based mechanism for technology assessment to be paired with

vibrant, civil society monitoring to ensure real rather than false solutions are favoured.

Niclas Hällström, Director of What Next Forum, will discuss the bold idea of a global

renewable energy support programme that could enable countries in both the North and

South to quickly embark on a transformation towards 100% renewable energy and provide a

positive boost to the climate negotiations.
