CULTURE CLUB

MONTHLY

We meet monthly (and on Zoom for the time being) to share climate-related books we've read; films or videos we've watched; podcasts we've listened to. There's no fixed agenda or content to read ahead of the sessions. We're also devoting part of our meeting to planning for the Climate Festival in September.

 

Hope to see you there!

EnCaf Youth joins efforts to influence COP26

​

Members of EnCaf Youth met at the end of February 2021 to discuss how they could influence the world summit C0P26 that is taking place in November this year.

​

Theo Sergiou from the Youth Parliament and a local Enfield resident explained that on March 3rd representative of young people will be meeting to decide on what their priorities are for the Summit - as young people had already indicated that their number one priority was climate change.

​

Theo asked Enfield Youth to be involved and come up with their recommendations. So there was an initial discussion and the focus was on incineration and its emissions that contribute to climate change and recycling. They will now be refining these into definite proposals.

​

On March 3rd the final list of all proposals will be determined and a petition they hope will reach over 25,000 young people will be launched for submission to Government. You can see Theo's presentation below. 

The Growing Danger Of Wildfires

 

Few things scream “climate emergency” more clearly than seeing wildfires engulf landscapes and livelihoods. As extreme heat continues across the UK, recent research shows that relentless high temperatures have left most people increasingly anxious about the future. How do we translate that heightened concern into meaningful action when faced with the reality of destructive wildfires sweeping the country?

​

Join us on Wednesday, September 30th at 7.00 pm

​ Speakers include

Richard Boniface is from the Australian Fire Service where they have considerable experience of wildfires. He is from the Berowra Brigade which is part of the New South Wales Rural Fire Service (RFS) which has an extensive network of brigades throughout the State. Thy deal with many bushfires and their experience is valuable as grassfires are now a growing threat to urban areas in London. Richard has given many talks throughout Europe

​

Also joining us will be Phil Swallow who is the Commander of the Enfield Fire Brigade and is very keen to collaborate with EnCaf. He will be joined by his colleague Andrew Holtzhausen who has also had experience fighting wild fires in South Africa
