Leading climate policy expert to give Milo Dunphy Memorial Lecture

Wednesday, 16 May 2001 10:00

Climate change is back in the headlines. The US has dumped the Kyoto Protocol, and the Australian Government sympathises with this position.

Hear an insider's view on Australia's policies and role in international climate change negotiations from Bill Hare, Climate Policy Director of Greenpeace International. Bill leads the Greenpeace delegations to meetings of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and has participated in all negotiating sessions of this body, including negotiation of the Kyoto Protocol.


Widely regarded as the best climate lobbyist in the world, Bill Hare "is on the one hand a trained atmospheric scientist able to engage climate scientists in debate at the highest level and on the other - rare for a scientist - possessed of a prodigious political acumen".

- Jeremy Leggett, The Carbon War
The lecture will be opened by Bob Debus, NSW Minister for Environment and followed by a panel discussion and the opportunity for audience questions. The lecture is hosted by Total Environment Centre, phone 9299 5599. www.nccnsw.org.au
