Wednesday 16th January at 4:00pm, R2.41 (Ramphal Building)

How do we campaign as activists and NGOs when we know that time is running out to tackle climate change? What role do NGOs play in the wider environmental movement and how do we maintain hope in changing times? How do we engage people and what does a movement look like? Hannah Martin will be speaking and facilitating a discussion based on her experience of organising at the grass-roots level and campaigning for Greenpeace on issues like fracking and wider energy issues including the Canadian tar sands and deforestation.

Hannah Martin is the lead campaigner on Oil Supply for Greenpeace UK. She was previously Head of Energy and Climate for Greenpeace and led their anti-fracking campaign. She has worked for 350.org as a divestment campaigner and run several grassroots campaigns on energy and climate including organising direct actions with Reclaim the Power.
