Sheila Watt-Cloutier, an Inuk climate change advocate and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, will give a public lecture on the human dimensions of climate change Tuesday, 29 November 2011 at 7:00 p.m. EST. The lecture will be held in Convocation Hall at Mount Allison University (Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada) but will also be broadcast online.
Entitled 'Not the Time to COP Out,' the lecture will mark the second day of the international United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP-17) climate change negotiations in Durban, South Africa.
In addition to the local event in New Brunswick, the lecture will be broadcast live over the internet on IsumaTV, an indigenous-focused multi-media website. Communities across Canada and the world are encouraged to organize screenings. These satellite events can tune in (at http://www.isuma.tv or via Skype address isumatvwebcaster) live to Mount Allison University to ask questions.
