'Anote’s Ark' + Panel Discussion: Could Geoengineering Solve the Climate Crisis?

Following its world premiere earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, the Science Museum and Royal Society present the English premiere of Anote’s Ark, the very first feature film to be shot in the Republic of Kiribati, an island nation in the Pacific Ocean that will gradually disappear as a result of rising sea levels – granting its citizens the unfortunate title of first climate refugees in history. Could geoengineering be the answer to the impending climate crisis?

To find out we are joined by an expert panel made up of Professor Joanna Haigh, Royal Society Fellow; Dr Jack Stilgoe, senior lecturer in social studies of science at UCL; Dr Naomi Vaughan of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research; and Oliver Morton, science writer, author and briefings editor for The Economist.   

Event runs from 19.30–21.45 and doors open at 18.45.

'Anote’s Ark' + Panel Discussion: Could Geoengineering Solve the Climate Crisis? is part of an events season inspired by the Science Museum's blockbuster exhibition 'The Sun: Living With Our Star', open 6 October 2018 - 6 May 2019.
