I have volunteered to do a piece at the Speakers Corner at the Arnolfini on Friday 4th December at 1pm. It's part of their 100 Days programme of events in the run-up to the start of the Copenhagen climate summit.
I am going to be speaking about the challenges of trying to take action on climate change as a local politician and how national policy and targets get in the way. I'll be speaking for about 15 minutes, I think, and I am going to try to make it as light-hearted as possible, but it'll probably be a little ranty too.
I'm going to talk about many of the things that I've posted here on my blog before: trying to get a Merton Rule in place, the government's daft housing targets, biofuel plants and planning regulations and the balance of heritage and sustainability. Do feel free to come along if you're interested in hearing about the tribulations of being a climate politician.
