BWB Talks: Climate Crisis and Revolution
Climate crisis is upon us. By choice or necessity, New Zealand will transition to a low-emissions future. But can this revolution be careful? Can it be attentive to the disruptions it inevitably creates? Or will carefulness simply delay and dilute the changes that future people require of us?
Join authors of the latest addition to the BWB Texts series, A Careful Revolution, to explore the politics and practicalities of the low-emissions transition, touching on issues of justice, tikanga, trade-offs, finance, futurism, adaptation, and more.
Please note: due to maintenance at the City Gallery, entrance to the event will be via the Harris St (back)door to the City Gallery. Unfortunately, this entrance is not wheelchair accessible.
