Larry Lohmann, Author of Carbon Trading: A Critical Conversation on Climate Change, Privatization and Power, Durban Group for Climate Justice

What:
A free public panel to debate the strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities of carbon trading and other free-market based mechanisms for addressing climate change.
When:
19:30, January 25, 2008.
Where:
University of Ottawa, Art Building Room 026
Why:
As politicians and corporations are increasingly responding to the public’s demand for action on sustainability and climate change, certain voices and solutions are being left out of the debate. This debate will bring together critics of carbon trading with those who advocate carbon trading as a viable tool for addressing climate change in what is sure to be a thought-provoking and challenging panel.
Sponsored by the Sierra Youth Coalition, the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa, Indigenous Environmental Network and the Environmental Justice Organizing Institute.
