Climate Change 2037 Event
Time to Act
5.30pm for 6:00pm
followed by drinks and canapésQueen’s College, Parkville
Junior Common RoomRSVP here by 4 August, 2022
In 15 years, Queen’s College will celebrate its 150th anniversary in a warmer and very different world to the one in which it was founded.
The world’s climate has changed, it will continue to change, and it will lead to significant impacts. Acting on climate change is a complicated challenge that involves weighing up many different and sometimes conflicting demands. A hypothetical performance provides an ideal way to explore these complexities.
Join a panel of experts who will play hypothetical and exaggerated versions of themselves to solve the problems of the world in 2037.
