Where can we look to take positive actions for a brighter future?

Many respond with fear and anxiety in the face of current changes in climate and when looking ahead to the inevitable changes that are to come. We are bombarded with messages that we have to change the way we live, while acutely aware that changing to energy saving light bulbs is a drop in the ocean. A desire to help, but feeling disempowered, is leading to a dwindling hope for our future.

Hope in the Face of Climate Change will be a space for discussion and reflection. Please join Christian Aid, JustShare and St James’s Church Piccadilly to explore issues of food security and pro-poor management of the environment and reflect and act to contribute to a brighter future for all.

Confirmed speakers:

Yamikani Dakalira, Centre for Environmental Policy and Advocacy (CEPA) in Malawi

Tim Yeo MP, Chair of the Energy and Climate Change Committee

Clare Fussell and Clare Paine, Christian Aid

Chaired by The Revd Lucy Winkett, St James’s Church, Piccadilly
