Oriel Talks: Anthropocene

Continuing in the spirit of our previous Oriel Talks on topical issues, this Oriel Talks will deal with the subject of climate change and sustainability. Despite its existence being denied by presidents, climate change has caused great damage, of late rendering the Great Coral Reef terminal. What aspects of human life are most responsible for this? And what can be done?

In this edition of Oriel Talks, we will address the Anthropocene and learn more about it, understand the effects of the pursuit of equality and explore the future of sustainable development in developing countries. Fighting climate change begins with expanding our knowledge on this very critical issue and understanding what it is, how it came to be, and how best to tackle it in the future.
