UK Aware Speaker Panels Just Announced!

The symposiums for this year’s UK Aware have just been announced, and I have to say the topics are brilliant and quite relevant to our lives and the times we live in. There will be eight sessions in all, four on Friday and four on Saturday. Each symposium features a panel of some of the brightest lights in London’s green scene, but the discussions are designed to be understandable—you don’t have to know anything about global warming or carbon emissions to enjoy and gain something from these panel discussions.

The speaker panels include: “Local to Global,” which focuses on how to drive change from the boardroom to the neighborhood; “The Big Carbon Debate,” where the panel will discuss the role that government, business, communities and individuals should play in reducing carbon emissions; “A to B Without the C02,” will cover what the future holds for personal transport; and “The Future’s Bright, The Future’s Green,” where the panel will discuss simple, practical steps you can take to live a happier, greener life.

The expert speakers are some of the brightest lights in London’s green scene, including Arthur Potts Dawson, Executive Chef of Acorn House, London’s famous eco-friendly restaurant; Michael Walton, Director of Shared Interest; Charlie Browne, IKEA UK Environment Manager; Polly Higgins of Trees Have Rights Too; Andrew Davis, Director of the Environmental Transport Association; and Anna Shepard, author of How Green Are my Wellies? Plus, many, many more. With a lineup like this, the speaker’s panels are on track to be the star of the show!
