About Event

The Sustainable Earth Institute are delighted to announce that the University of Plymouth will be hosting a talk by Jonathan Porritt. A veteran climate campaigner, advisor and writer, he has consistently highlighted the environmental crisis and its threat to social and ecological justice – over 50 years of constantly looking for solutions.

His newly published, 11th book, 'Love, Anger & Betrayal', visits the latest generation of climate activists and documents the experiences of 26 insightful young people – his co-authors – who joined Just Stop Oil's Nonviolent Civil Resistance. The book reveals their passion for a just and sustainable transition away from our global economic and cultural dependence on fossil fuels. But who, with the political power, is listening?

For more than 50 years, Jonathon Porritt has been campaigning for the environment and social justice, while simultaneously advising governments, businesses and NGOs. The author of many highly respected books, he still believes that it is 'not too late' to avoid climate breakdown. But the thrust of this book, 'Love, Anger & Betrayal', is that very soon it will be.

Doors open at 18:00 for drinks and nibbles, and the talk will begin at 19:00.Book your free place through eventbrite.
