The Future of the Planet

10 - 10 July 2007 John Rylands Library

Consensus is growing that human-induced climate change will be the major driver of social, political, economic, industrial and cultural change in the 21st century. What are the urgent challenges we must address and how can scientists and artists work together to raise further awareness of the issues, stimulate debate and, more importantly, encourage collective and personal action?
 
The discussion will be followed by a chance to meet a range of artists and scientists to debate commonalities and divergences at an evening facilitated by TippingPoint in association with Manchester International Festival and Manchester: Knowledge Capital.
