Presentation on challenges of climate change - Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise
May 22 at 6 p.m.
As part of its role to stimulate a
wide-ranging public debate on matters of importance, the independent think
tank, The Today Public Policy Institute, will be making a presentation at the
Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise on May 22 at 6 p.m. on Climate Change: The
Global Challenge And An Action Plan For Malta.
The talk will be in two parts.
First, Michael Zammit Cutajar, who is Malta's Ambassador on Climate Change,
will speak about the demanding world challenges presented by global warming and
climate change. He will address the problems, the challenges, the international
actions needed and Malta's involvement in the climate change negotiations.
Then, Martin Scicluna, who is the
director general of the think tank, will take up the challenge as it affects
Malta. He will describe how climate change might impact on Malta, the specific
challenges this will present the island with, and then go on to propose a
possible action plan to prepare to meet them. The Action Plan will need to
cover water resources, energy security and conservation, food security, health,
tourism, the built environment, and climate refugees and illegal immigration.
As Malta's policy-makers begin to
confront the stark challenges posed by climate change, this will be a talk
which will serve to analyse and highlight the key issues which lie ahead and
the need for politicians and policy makers to begin to grapple with possible
solutions to the impending problems to ensure that Malta is as well prepared as
it can be to mitigate the effects. Its aim will be to prompt new ideas and to
inspire creative solutions to ensure Malta's long-term sustainability.
The talk will be open to all members
of the public and will be of particular interest to policy makers, senior
business executives, environmentalists and anybody who has an interest in how
Malta is going to confront mankind's possibly greatest test of the 21st
century.
Entrance is free on a first come
first served basis. Members of the public are kindly advised to be seated by
5.50 p.m.
