Climate Change & the 6th Mass Extinction: Why both need to be addressed together, 20th April 7.30-9pm

We’re pleased to invite you to join us for our next (virtual) speaker event, welcoming Professor Jim Harris on Wednesday 20^th April at 7.30.

Jim will talk about how climate change and biodiversity loss have to be tackled at the same time, as part of the same problem. Restoring ecosystems in a holistic way is essential to maximising carbon capture and must not be seen in isolation.

“The UK itself is in the bottom 10% of biodiversity as a country – with about half of its biodiversity left – compared to the global average of 75%, which itself is nothing to celebrate”.

Jim is Professor of Environmental Technology at Cranfield University’s Soil and Agrifood Institute, and is passionate about these subjects. He’s a really engaging speaker and, as always, there will be time for questions at the end.
More about him HERE.  

One of his Cranfield University blogs from last year will give you a flavour of what he’ll be talking about:
