Pipelines, politics, and power: the future of fossil fuels in a world on fire

Drawing from her experience as an advisor to the Alberta Government on climate policy in the oilsands, as well as on the frontlines of the climate justice movement blockading pipelines and negotiating divestment from oil drilling with some of the worlds largest banks, Tzeporah Berman will reflect on Canada’s climate policy and the strange disconnect between fossil fuel expansion and The Paris Accord.

Thomas Homer-Dixon, award-winning author and one of the world’s leading experts on the links between society, technology, and nature, will moderate the discussion that follows.
