An evening with Jonathon Porritt.
For more than 50 years, Jonathon Porritt has been campaigning for the environment and social justice, while simultaneously advising governments, businesses and NGOs. The author of many highly-respected books, he still believes that it is 'not too late' to avoid climate breakdown. But the thrust of Love, Anger and Betrayal is that it soon will be.
"Magnificent and crucial. A lodestone for all we believe in" - George Monbiot
"This is a deeply uncomfortable but overwhelmingly necessary book" - Caroline Lucas
"What a truly wonderful book, born from years of deep experience. It’s realistic, honest - and both frightening and hopeful. It’s appropriately angry at the forces of commerce and politics whose horizons don’t extend beyond the bottom line (or the next election). But it’s also a hymn of love and appreciation for the young people who are getting out on the streets to try to change our civilisational direction, who are refusing to become obedient shoppers trapped on the capitalist hamster wheel, who are inventing and building new futures for the rest of us - and who are now getting arrested and imprisoned for their efforts. Thank you Jonathon, you’ve woken me up. I hope it wakes us all up" - Brian Eno
"This moving book is a reminder of the massive debt we owe to those whose commitment and passion challenge us to think differently, and then to act" - Tim Smit
The evening includes a book signing with the book on sale.
Doors open 6.30 with a chance to see the exhibition Letters from the Global South.
The talk will begin at 19:00 followed by Q&A then book signing.
Drinks will be available before and after the talk
The cost of the ticket helps us to not only cover costs and fund climate action.
Location: Boutflour Hall, Royal Agricultural University
