At this special lecture, Professor Tim Flannery, recipient of SFU’s 2015/16 Jack P. Blaney Award for Dialogue, will engage with local thought leaders to tackle the thorny topic of how to reconcile climate action with economic growth and resource development in the lead-up to the international climate change negotiations in Paris this December. Audience members will also witness the Canadian launch of Professor Flannery’s latest book, Atmosphere of Hope: Searching for Solutions to the Climate Crisis, which follows his past international best seller, The Weather Makers.
This award provides an opportunity to celebrate the significant role Professor Flannery’s work has had in advancing the global conversation around the critical issue of climate change. From convening global business leaders at the Copenhagen Climate Council to performing community-based outreach with the Australian Climate Commission, Professor Flannery has reached out to new audiences and created opportunities for authentic engagement.
