Climate change & food security marketplace

Fri 13 June 2014

Murray Edwards College

This event is focused on climate change and food security as it affects the world's poorest people, as they are most at risk of increased food insecurity from the interplay of the effects of climate change on poverty and inequality of resources. We particularly welcome delegates working on projects, research or enterprises that address climate change and food security in developing country contexts, or whose work has implications for, or can learn from, work being done in the 'global South'.

Agenda for the day:
9:00am: Registration
9:45am: Opening keynote conversation and audience dialogue, with
Dame Barbara Stocking, President of Murray Edwards College and former CE of Oxfam GB
Sir Jonathan Porritt, founder of Forum for the Future and author of The World We Made
11:00am: The morning marketplace: Three rounds of short, dynamic presentations from a broad range of individuals and organisations doing innovative work in the field—from NGOs, universities, companies and more.
There will be multiple presentations happening throughout the space simultaneously. Attendees can join the presentations that are most interesting and relevent to them for each round; presentations will last 10 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of questions -and then the next round will begin.

12:30pm: Lunch and informal networking
1:45pm: 'Speed dating' networking: participants will have the opportunity to have short, focused meetings with potential connections and collaborators - or people whose work they simply want to learn more about.
3:00pm: Close of event

Cost: £20, £10, free
