Call to Real Action is co-hosting a public meeting on Tuesday August 4th\, from 7pm.
The meeting is called &ldquo\;Climate Change\: A Year from Now\,&rdquo\; and looks back from August 2010. By then the Council will have released its Climate Change Action Plan (version 1)\, there will have been a national election in the UK (and presumably a new government) and the Copenhagen Climate Conference will have been and gone. What implications do all these have for people wanting to make Manchester a low-carbon high-resilience place to live and work?
Speakers include Dina Baird of the Stop Climate Coalition\, Cllr Richard Cowell of Manchester City Council\, and a speaker from Call to Real Action.
Codex will affect the food we eat and could have a massive impact on our lives very soon. Run in conjunction with Alternative Answers this event will feature talks and a film about Codex before going on to learn what individuals and communities can do about it.
