« The solution to the climate change problem will never be just about science, it’s about human nature. Human nature got us into this mess and only human nature can get us out of it. »
Tim Flannery

Join us for the World Premiere of the documentary «2 Degrees of Human Nature: The search for climate leadership at Glasgow and beyond». The film follows Professor Tim Flannery as he investigates how the politics of the global climate change negotiations determines our planet’s future. In the film, Flannery enters dialogue with communities: from landowners, workers, fossil fuel companies to government. In so doing the film starts an ongoing dialogue with society.


The event will feature a 30 minute film screening, followed by a keynote speech from Professor Tim Flannery and a Q&A.
