Join us for a film and discussion that can help interpret the backsliding of global climate governance witnessed by the Trump regime's walkout from both global and national emissions controls, plus his promotion of renewed fossil-fuel drilling across the world as part of trade-war deals. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change COP30 in Belem, Brazil in early November and the 22-23 November G20 summit in Johannesburg will reveal how far the backsliding has gone.

The film, Temperature Rising, takes place between two major UN climate conferences – COP26 Glasgow and COP27 Sharm el-Sheikh. Temperature Rising uncovers the barriers to climate action and calls loudly for movement building from below, at a time where the very survival of large numbers of people depends on what activists can get political leaders to do. As climate induced disasters are on the rise across Southern Africa, three activists grapple with what thinking globally and acting locally means in practise.

This is an ideal time to watch the film and to discuss how we can fight Climate Change. The film will be followed by a talk with South African climate activist Patrick Bond, author of the book Politics of Climate Justice and University of Johannesburg distinguished professor and Centre for Social Change director.
