A Call to Make Ecocide a Crime (Polly Higgins)

*A Call to Make Ecocide a Crime*
Polly Higgins Reports back from COP 16 in Cancun

The Cancun climate negotiations were politically and ecologically a disaster. President Evo Morales called it governmental ecocide. It is now clear that where politicians fail, the people become mandated to take action; failure to do so is to be complicit in the destruction of our planet.

...Come on Monday 10th, 6.30pm to hear Polly Higgins speak about what can be done by the people to change the political framework, so that governments finally take action on behalf of the people they represent.

Refreshments from 6pm
