At this stage of human and geological history, the management of climate chaos is a race: can we act fast enough to avoid a collapse of civilization?

On the agenda, three days of discussions between intellectuals, politicians, activists and civil society actors who will discuss the urgency of action, environmental justice, local politics, consumption, food production and the motivation to change our habits.
Events are free provided you book.
Debates (in English) are moderated by Bill McKibben.
