SUMMARY:Closer and Closer to 2071
DESCRIPTION:It’s been 10 years since climate scientist Chris Rapley first performed his play 2071: The World We’ll Leave Our Grandchildren. In its five-star review\, The Guardian called it ‘better than good: it is necessary’. \nIn the past decade\, the world – and the Climate Crisis – have changed. Join us on 7th February as Chris reads excerpts from 2071 and reflects on its implications for our planet today. \nFollowing Chris’s remarks\, renowned environmentalist Jonathon Porritt will discuss our options for making a difference as individuals – and the particular power of charitable giving to climate organisations. \nHosted by the Global Returns Project: a UK registered charity making it easy for individuals and businesses to donate to best-in-class climate charities\, with no deductions. \n100% of every donation made when reserving free tickets for this event will be split equally between the six climate charities supported by the Global Returns Project: \n\nBlue Marine Foundation\nClientEarth\nGlobal Canopy\nRainforest Trust UK\nTrillion Trees\nWhale and Dolphin Conservation\n\nThis is a high capacity event\, so please do circulate the invitation to others who might enjoy\, and encourage them to register.

SUMMARY:How Pollinator-Friendly is the City of London?
DESCRIPTION:Background: \nPollinating London Together is a pan livery group founded by the Worshipful Company of Wax Chandlers and the Worshipful Company of Gardeners\, born out of a need to raise awareness of the importance of biodiversity and the decline in insect species\, specifically pollinators. Compared to other threatened species\, insects and pollinators are much less visible. The decline is largely due to habitat loss\, the overuse of chemicals\, and climate change. Not only will humans feel the loss of insects\, but so will birds and other animals in the food chain\, as they will not be able to feed on such insects or the fruit that they enable. \nTo address this decline\, PLT aims to help champion and create pollinator-friendly green spaces\, starting in the City of London\, allowing all pollinators\, including solitary bees\, bumblebees\, hoverflies\, butterflies\, moths and beetles\, to thrive and for workers and visitors of the City to benefit from the tranquillity of those green spaces. \nThis lecture will provide a summary of the findings from the pollinator and planting assessments in the City of London\, the development of pollinator-friendly planting and the identification of green corridors in the City. It will review the progress and future plans. \n\nSpeakers: \nDr Heather Barrett-Mold OBE is Vice Chair of the Pollinating London Together Charity\, a Past Master of the Gardeners Livery Company\, and founder member of the Livery Climate Action Group. \nHeather is a Chartered Scientist\, Chartered Horticulturist\, and Chartered Environmentalist. Currently a consultant. She was Principal/CEO of Pershore Group of Colleges\, and now Vice Chair of Governors at Capel Manor College. She was a member of the Government Advisory Panel on Sustainable Development Education for its lifetime of 5 years\, and then Advisor on the Secretary of State Sounding Board. Heather was an expert with the Commission for Sustainable London 2012\, and Secretary of State Board member for the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. She is a Fellow of the Linnaean Society\, Vice President of the Institution of Environmental Science\, Past President of the Institute of Horticulture\, and previous Chair of the Science Council. \n\nDr Konstantinos Tsiolis is a pollinator ecologist. He has recently finished his PhD at the University of Reading\, which focused on understanding the nesting preferences of ground-nesting bees in commercial fruit orchards. Since the spring of 2022\, he has been working for Pollinating London Together\, assessing the pollinator and pollinator-friendly planting diversity of the City of London and adjacent areas. He has also been in close contact with the City of London Corporation\, schools and local wildlife groups\, spreading awareness of pollinator needs and diversity.
