The CrickConnect team are delighted to be able to invite community members to join us for this insight lecture with Dr Hugh Montgomery OBE.

Climate change is with us and its impacts now unstoppable for millennia. But how bad are things? How bad will they get, and how fast? Is it too late, or can we do something? And, if so, what do we do? 

We ask all attendees to respect the private nature of these talks by refraining from making any type of recording, sharing access details or in any other way compromising the research that is discussed.
