Author Talk: Highway to Hell with Joelle Gergis

On October 23, 2024, the Brunswick Picture House will host "Highway to Hell: Are We Stuck in a Climate Action Cul-de-sac?", a pivotal event featuring a presentation by renowned climate scientist Dr. Joelle Gergis, lead author of IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report, The Quarterly Essay Highway to Hell and joined by a panel of local experts and activists to talk about government paralysis, false solutions and the folly of adaptation, rather than curbing fossil fuel use. The threat is real, and it's the community who are being called to act.

The event aims to energise community action on climate change by presenting practical solutions and empowering attendees to make a tangible difference.
