Book launch and discussion evening  - Social dimensions of the climate change debate.

16th January 2012, British Library, London. 5.30pm-7.30pm

With questions about the anthropogenic nature of climate change now largely settled, policy is increasingly turning to the social sciences to ensure successful implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies. This event provides a timely opportunity to hear three leading academics discuss the contribution sociology is making to the evolving debate about the social and institutional transformations necessitated by the demands of climate policy. Drawing on ideas from their most recent books, Professors Mike Hulme, John Urry and Gordon Walker will discuss with the audience the key trends and concepts in this developing field of study.

The aim is for an intimate and informal evening, in which all delegates can contribute to the discussions. Therefore tickets are very limited. In addition, to help ensure a well informed discussion and productive debate, delegates will be provided with PDFs of selected chapters from each book prior to the event. There will also be the chance for delegates to purchase books from the publishers on the night at a significantly discounted rate.
