Climate futures: Will fire be the beginning and the end of our story?
The discovery of fire was the beginning of civilisation – and it may well be the end of it, if we continue with the “business as usual” world moulded by fossil fuels.
2024 Pulitzer Prize Finalist John Valliant, author of “Fire Weather” and Associate Professor Ben Franta, Associate Professor of Climate Litigation and the founding head of the Climate Litigation Lab will discuss the implications of the continued use of fossil fuels and how we navigate the legal landscape to mitigate fossil fuels’ most damaging impacts.
