'Climate Crime: will climate change destroy any hope of equality for the world's poorest people?'
The impacts of our carbon emissions are already being felt by the world's poorest people through storms, drought, disease, and declining food yields. Scientists say far worse is to come, creating millions of environmental refugees. This may be our greatest ever abuse of the poor, yet the solutions needed in a low carbon world also offer new hope for social justice.
Maria Adebowale is an expert in environmental justice and equality and the Director of Capacity Global, a social enterprise specialising in environmental justice, sustainable development, diversity, community participation and human rights.
Andrew Simms is Policy Director and Head of the Climate Change programme at the New Economics Foundation and has pioneered and widely promoted the concept of 'Ecological Debt'.
This event is presented in partnership with Oxfam.
