Young Fabian’s “Future of Finance” Network Debate
Tuesday 5th April, 6.30- 8pm, Linklaters Silk Street Office, London

Business is playing an increasingly important role in providing the capital and infrastructure necessary for action on climate change. The financial crisis and the slow pace of political negotiations have had the effect of reducing public support in the short term, but the market opportunities for investment in low-carbon technologies and products have been increasingly driving the transition to a greener global economy. The private sector is addressing environmental concerns and is widely acknowledged as the key to progressing and meeting international targets on climate change.

Young Fabians Science and Society Network Debate
22nd March, 6.30pm to 8pm – 58 Prince's Gate, Imperial College

To date there has been precious little substance to the coalition government’s science message.
