So far the Kyoto Protocol has arguably done very little to tackle climate change on a global scale, but is there another way? Oliver Tickell believes there is. The journalist, environmentalist and author of Kyoto2: How to Manage the Global Greenhouse is coming to Birmingham to discuss the Kyoto2 Initiative which proposes a new framework for a global climate treaty.

Jointly organised by Birmingham Friends of the Earth and Aston University, the event will be taking place on Tuesday 17th February at 6:30pm at Aston University Business School Conference Centre and will be introduced by Professor Julia King, Vice Chancellor of Aston University and advisor to the government’s climate change committee.

Climate change guru George Monbiot describes Kyoto2 as “The most intelligent treatment of the politics and economics of climate change I have ever read. Brilliant, clear and unanswerable.”
