Friday, April 18, 2003Phew! We've made it... Day 4 of the Oxford Earth Summit took place this day last year. Many wise words were spoken at the end of the summit ranging from Lord May's advice to embrace dissent + learn from it... to John Bird's thoughts on charity keeping people exactly where there are... to Belen Vasquez's powerful advocacy on behalf of those who need help in order to get themselves out of a rut. Cracking stuff, and well worth a read even if you don't have time to listen to whole talks. Day 4: Friday April 19: Our Roles in Making a Difference Prof. Steve Rayner: Said Business School, Oxford University Listen to Steve's talk entitled "The impacts of consumer choice" as a MP3. * "Why do people consume in the way that they do?"
Dr. Gideon Middleton: Orange Listen to Gideon's talk entitled "Environmental initiatives in the commerical sector" as a MP3. * "The Orange network in the UK now covers 99% of the population, 80% of the area... 13 million customers and 15,000 staff."
Dr. Richard Jones: The Meteorological Office Listen to Richard's talk entitled "The science of climate change" as a MP3. Link to the Met Office's Hadley Centre (which specialises in the study of climate change). * "A global surface temperature increase of 0.7°C has taken place over the past 100 years. Most of the increase has been due to human activities."
Dr. Tom Woollard: ERM Consultants Listen to Tom's talk entitled "Understanding how business thinks" as a MP3. * "274 of FTSE 350 do NOT produce a stand-alone environmental report."
Ms. Belen Vasquez: Action Aid Listen to Belen's talk entitled "Enhancing the quality and volume of international aid" as a MP3. * "1.2 billion people or 20% of the world’s population lives on less than a dollar a day. Additional 1.6 billion live on less than a 2 dollars a day."
Mr. John Bird: The Big Issue Listen to John's talk entitled "Self-help and society" as a MP3. * "I was astonished at the lack of opportunity for them to get out of poverty and stand on their own two feet."
Dr. Robert Barrington: Earthwatch Listen to Robert's talk entitled "Business and biodiversity" as a MP3 * "The sustainable use of biodiversity, the conservation of biodiversity and the equitable sharing of benefits... what has business got to do with this?"
Lord (Robert) May: The Royal Society (The UK's national science academy) + Oxford Uni. Listen to Lord May's talk entitled "The role and limits of science." * "Some of the limits to science are uncertainty."
