Lord Giddens, a world-renowned sociologist, will speak on The Politics of Climate Change, his landmark book first published in 2009, a new edition of which he is currently preparing.
In his lecture Giddens will consider how much progress – if any – has been made over the intervening years in containing global warming, arguably one of the greatest threats to a stable future for humanity.
The lecture will be held on 17 March, 6-8pm, in the Great Hall of the Wills Memorial Building. Admission is free but tickets must be booked; see the School for Policy Studies website for details.
