After the End of the World
Climate Change: Let’s Act Now; There’s Still Time
Environmental Dialogues 2017
Coinciding with the exhibition “After the End of the World”, organised by the Col·legi d'Ambientòlegs (Association of Environmental Scientists) with the collaboration of the Ateneu Barcelonès and the CCCB, we are presenting the series of “Environmental Dialogues 2017: Climate Change: Let’s Act Now, There’s Still Time” with the aim of advancing in the reflection upon and practical action in several key questions that must be tackled within this new scenario.
Nowadays evidence of climate change’s existence is no longer questioned. The challenges presenting themselves to us are new ones: adapting to effects that are now becoming evident in our own territory and across the world, raising society’s awareness of this adaptation, and acting with sufficient speed to ensure that the effects of the change globally do not become even more devastating.
Putting the focus on the positive, in the understanding that if as a society we can advance courageously, we still have time to mitigate and manage to coexist with the consequences of climate change, during this month of November:
