Climate change is arguably the biggest threat to world peace and security.
On 10 November, Coventry Lord Mayor’s Committee for Peace and Reconciliation is pleased to announce that BBC’s former energy and environment analyst, Roger Harrabin, will deliver the Lord Mayor’s Peace Lecture in Coventry Cathedral. He will talk on the subject “Can technology curb climate change?”
Roger was born in Coventry and attended Stivichall Primary School and King Henry VIII School. After studying English at Cambridge he returned to Coventry as a journalist at the Coventry Evening Telegraph and from there moved to Thames Television News.
He next moved to the BBC where he became a senior journalist and Energy and Environment Analyst, winning a series of Media Natura Environment Awards for reports on environment and development issues. He is now a freelance speaker and moderator on energy, risk, transport, cities and rural issues.
He is an Associate Fellow of Green Templeton College, Oxford, and an Honorary Fellow of St Catharine’s College, Cambridge.
Cathedral doors open at 18:00 for music by Welsh choir Cor Cymraeg. The lecture starts at 19:00.
