Wednesday 30th July: Climate & Capitalism
Finance and The City
A Tour; meet at 3.30pm outside Liverpool St, Bishopsgate exit. (1 ½ hours).
*Tackling climate change starts at home, apparently.*
Examining the root causes of climate change has brought us to the bleeding
heart of London: the single square mile of the business district. Decisions
made in the City over financial investments across the world are locking us
into decades of carbon emissions. How are we tied up in this? How do we
affect it?
Take the tour, meeting at Liverpool St on Bishopsgate at 3.30pm.
Look for the suits with umbrellas..
