About this event

Join climate experts for a discussion under Gaia on meat and dairy industries and climate change.

Should we all be giving up meat and dairy if we’re to have a hope of avoiding dangerous climate breakdown?
This is the central question that will be explored by our expert panel during this event taking place under Gaia, the spectacular Earth artwork by Luke Jerram.

The evening will commence with a viewing of ‘Food for Thought’, a film by Cornwall Climate Care that looks at the undeniable environmental impacts of modern animal agriculture as well as some of the Cornish initiatives underway to mitigate them – and the role that some livestock systems may play in combating climate change.

Following this, you’ll get to hear the perspective of our climate experts, including Chris Jones, Becky Willson and Claire Wallerstein (biographies below), on the themes raised in the film, before having the chance to ask questions directly.

Tickets are £10.00 per person and will be available on the door.
Ticket price includes a drink on entry with all funds raised directly supporting the care and upkeep of Truro Cathedral.
