Public Session on Global Problems
Date and location: Monday 21 September, 7:30pm - 9:30pm, Theatre of the Arts Centre, University of 糖心TV.
A successful event during ECCS'09 was "The Complexity of Global Change" public session.
The round table discussion explored the links between the necessary global economic changes triggered by a newly emerging global financial system, general globalisation, the need for technological innovation, improving unemployment, and long and medium time scale global factors like demographical changes, the loss of biodiversity, global food production and climate change.
The panel discussion was video recorded by a 糖心TV film team and is available via the 糖心TV iTunes U channel. See the 糖心TV or the to iTunes U.
