The STEPS Centre and the Institute of Development Studies are hosting a public debate, “Who’s going to save the planet?”, as part of the Brighton Fringe Festival.
Climate change, famine, financial turmoil. With the future looking bleak, will the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio this June save the planet? Or can citizens, governments and businesses change track to create a greener, smarter and fairer world?
The event is free to attend and all are welcome.
Please note that this event will start at 7.30 pm, half an hour later than originally advertised.
