This fifth and final seminar of the SOAS “Climate Perspectives” seminar series will bring climate change back to where it begins; with ourselves, as consumers, citizens, and agents in our societies. In this seminar Solar SOAS founders Isobel Annan, Hannah Short, and Robert van Maaren will tell about their journey with Solar SOAS, and how they successfully campaigned to install 114 solar panels on the roofs of SOAS. They will tell about the obstacles and successes they experienced, and they will present their views on the most effective forms of individual and community action. They will also discuss climate change in general, and will bring perspectives from the work they are doing now in investment, law and civil activism.

The last part of the seminar will be dedicated to questions and discussions with the audience, and we encourage everyone contribute with their own perspectives and opinions in order to have an open and frank discussion about what we are in fact capable of changing as individuals.
