Hello
I have spoken to and emailed many of you already regarding the student
mobilisation for a major event on November 4th which aims to highlight the
problem of climate change. It takes place on the eve of critical climate
change talks in Nairobi and will also demonstrate to the government the
importance of including a Climate Bill in the Queen's Speech
For more info on the Climate Bill see:
http://peopleandplanet.org/icount/climatebill#bill.
On the 4th of November there will be a student-specific Carnival of
Climate Chaos starting from Mallet Street at noon which will loudly and
colourfully make its way to join the main event in Trafalgar Square.
Because of the importance of the student Carnival of Climate Chaos we
would like to invite you to a meeting we are holding on the 12th of
September for student organisers, SU officers, society committees and
student press which will take place at the London School of Economics.
This meeting is crucial to make sure that the campaign is in full swing by
the start of term.
It will be held between 3pm and 5:30pm in room S78. The nearest tube
stops are Holborn and Temple
See:
http://www.lse.ac.uk/resources/mapsAndDirections/
for more detailed directions on how to get there
The agenda for the meeting will be:
3pm - Welcome
3:15 - Introduction on climate change and Stop Climate Chaos by Campaigns
Manager Lucy Pearce
3:45 - Explanation of the proposed Climate Bill by a Nick Davis from the
Friends of the Earth parliamentary team
4pm - Introduction to the November 4th event and the student Carnival of
Climate Chaos by James Lloyd Head of Campaigns at People & Planet
4:15 - The group will split into separate rooms for organisers and
journalists to brainstorm ideas under the guidance of campaign and media
specialists
5pm - Q and A
5:30 - Drinks and networking
As this meeting has been arranged at short notice it would be very helpful
if you could forward this email to anyone you know who might be
interested. Stop Climate Chaos is a broad coalition of environment and
development groups, faith groups, humanitarian organisations,
women's groups, trade unions and many others so feel free to
circulate it widely.
While you don't have to RSVP to attend, it would be good for us to have an
idea of numbers. If you include a contact number we can also inform you in
the (unlikely) event of a room change.
Please feel free to email me or ring me or James Lloyd on the number below
if you have any questions.
Hope to see you soon
Alex Kennedy,
People & Planet
