SUMMARY:Our Changing Climate: Past\, Present and Future
DESCRIPTION:Part of the University of Reading’s Public Lecture Series  \nADMISSION FREE – BOOKING ADVISABLE \n\n\n\n\n\nThe hot and dry summer of 2018 was a reminder of just how vulnerable society can be to unusual weather through overheating buildings\, transport disruption\, lower crop production and risks to human health. Such heatwaves are now hotter because the planet has warmed over the past century\, largely due to human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases. Other consequences of a warming world are that extreme rainfall events have become more frequent and sea levels have risen as the oceans expand and the glaciers melt. \nThis lecture will outline how our climate has already changed\, and what we might expect in the future. Further changes are inevitable. The Paris Agreement aims to stabilise global temperatures but society’s choices will decide how much change we should expect. \nProfessor Ed Hawkins is a climate scientist in the National Centre for Atmospheric Science\, based in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading. He is a Lead Author for the forthcoming Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 6th Assessment Report and was awarded the Royal Society’s Kavli Medal in 2018. \nRegister to attend here.

SUMMARY:Reading 2050: Future Housing and Population Change in Reading
DESCRIPTION:Please join Simon Macklen and James Donagh from Barton Willmore\, for a lecture: ‘Future Housing and Population Change in Reading’ \nThe lecture is part of the ‘Economy and Employment’ theme of the Reading 2050 lecture series\, which provide a platform to discuss how Reading should evolve into a smarter and more sustainable city by 2050 (www.reading2050.co.uk ) \nAdmission to the lecture is free. \nThe SBE\, Barton Wilmore and Reading UK\, established the Reading 2050 group in 2013. The Reading 2050 lecture series is structured around three themes\, which underpin the Reading 2050 vision: \n*Place and Environment\n*People and Lifestyle\n*Economy and Employment \nIn 2017\, the School brought together expert speakers to discuss Reading’s heritage and history\, the future of its transport and energy and the impact of climate change and floods. A discussion on Reading’s Art and Culture was facilitated in 2018\, and there are other Reading 2050 events planned for 2019. \nhttps://livingreading.co.uk/publications-events

SUMMARY:PUBLIC LECTURE - The Bee’s Needs: How to Save the World’s Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Honey Bee pollinating sunflower.\nThe Bee’s Needs: How to Save the World’s Pollinators \nWednesday 14 March\, 19:30-20:45 \nLocation: G11\, Henley Business School\, Whiteknights campus \nThis event is free to attend.  \nRegistration in advance is not required\, but is recommended as public lectures are often full. Click here to book your place > \nBees and other insects are crucially important\, helping pollinate crops and support our wild ecosystems.
