"Canary" Documentary Film Screening

Fri, 15th Sep 2023

September 15th - September 21st, 2023 (multiple screenings per day, check the website below for details)

Witness the extraordinary life of Dr. Lonnie Thompson, an explorer who went where no scientist had gone before and transformed our idea of what is possible. Daring to seek Earth’s history contained in glaciers atop the tallest mountains in the world, Lonnie found himself on the frontlines of climate change—his life’s work evolving into a salvage mission to recover these priceless historical records before they disappear forever.

Building the future: Unleashing the renovation revolution

Speakers: Toby Morgan - Built Environment Lead, Climate Group; Emmanuel Normant, Vice President for Sustainable Development, Saint-Gobain; and more
The spotlight is back on energy efficiency. The previous year marked a shift, as retrofitting rates in the US surpassed new construction for the first time in two decades. Yet, to slash emissions by 50% within this decade, a swift upsurge in global renovations is paramount. Is the built environment industry prepared for this challenge? Are we on the cusp of sparking a global retrofitting revolution?

Financing climate justice: Taking stock for a sustainable future

Speakers: Rt. Hon Humza Yousaf - First Minister of Scotland; Levi Sucre Romero - Coordinator, Mesoamerican Alliance of Peoples and Forests (AMPB-covering from Mexico to Panama) and Co-Chair to the Global Alliance of Territorial Communities; and more
The societies and communities most impacted by the effects of climate change are often those that did the least to contribute to the issue and grappling with socio-economic inequality, poverty and governance challenges. Despite this, these countries struggle to get adequate funds for climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience. More problematically, where the scale of climate damage is irreversible, there are little to no funds to support those communities.

Speakers: Vanessa Kerry - MD, Chief Executive Officer of Seed Global Health, Director-General Special Envoy for Climate Change and Health, WHO ; Juliette White – Vice President Global Sustainability, AstraZeneca ; and more
This session will focus on the climate crisis, the largest public health crisis of our time. The WHO estimates that nearly 1 in 4 deaths are attributable to preventable environmental causes.

This bears an enormous burden not only on patient populations, but also on our societies and economies
